Vinyl Me Please Classics

July Classics gotta be this: It's Magic (Abbey Lincoln album) - Wikipedia

1958. Vocal Jazz. 10 tracks. Craft Recordings owns the publishing, and VMP partners with Craft about every other release it seems like.

I’d be down for that. Craft just reissued her 1959 release, Abbey is Blue. I’ve been eying that for a bit.

1974 soul could be Ann Peebles- I Can't Stand The Rain

If it's Abbey Lincoln/Ann Peebles/Wayne Shorter then that is a killer 3 months

Anyone who got Ashby already get a booklet in the sleeve?

Yeah

Bobby Bland - Dreamer seems to fit the 1974 clue too.

Best three month stretch of 2021 so far IMO

Lincoln and Shorter sounds good. Not heard of Peebles at all!

You beat me to it!

The line-up of side-men on this album is insane....Paul Chambers....Philly Joe Jones....Benny Golson....Sahib Shihab....Wynton Kelly....Curtis Fuller....Art Farmer....Sam Jones....Jerome Richardson....Kenny Dorham

Listening to this on Spotify now...it's a winner! I'll probably be in for another 3 months if this is the kind of heat they are bringing.

I don't know this album, for a long time I shunned most vocal jazz, but am really excited to check this out seeing that list of players.

Hmmm, between the potential Classics titles coming up (1966 jazz album), I might just jump back on for 3 months. But I just really don't connect with vocal jazz very well (love Nina, Billie and my VMP Blossom Dearie).

Fuck, I picked up Abbey is Blue the other day and it's fantastic. They're going to pull me in again aren't they?

Abbey would be a very good vocal jazz pick, but The Song Is June by June Christy is still a possible candidate (10 original tracks).

Abbey Lincoln’s It’s Magic has been confirmed via Reddit!!! I’m looking extremely forward to it! Excellent pick!
