If you’re looking for a thematically appropriate spin this Juneteenth, there are millions of options, but let me add “Freedom Day” from Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite. The full record is an amazing reflection on the Black experience, how far they had come by the early 60’s and how far they still had to go (I only wish that last part weren’t still so relevant). #maxroach #abbeylincoln #jazz #jazzvinyl #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoHG_aJxES/?igshid=12i6hi1myn0i4

We have lost another legend, the man who brought us the iconic portraits of my favorite jazz greats, one of the dopest photographers ever, Mr. Chuck Stewart.

Abbey Lincoln – It’s Magic (Full Album)

It’s Magic is the third album by American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln featuring tracks recorded in 1958 for the Riverside label.

“Because Abbey Lincoln has always been careful to sing songs that have a deep meaning for her, all of her recordings through the years are memorable in their own way; there are no duds in her discography. Her second Riverside session (and her third recording), It’s Magic has been reissued on this CD in the Original Jazz Classics series. The backup musicians are among the best in jazz at the time (Kenny Dorham or Art Farmer on trumpet, trombonist Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson on tenor, Jerome Richardson or Sahib Shihab on reeds, pianist Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers or Sam Jones on bass, and drummer Philly Joe Jones) and they have opportunities to play short solos. Lincoln is heard at her early best on such numbers as “I Am in Love,” “An Occasional Man,” “Out of the Past” and Randy Weston’s “Little Niles.” Recommended.” – Scott Yanow/Allmusic.
