Another good review that I was reading this morning in the Sunday NY Times HERE - plenty of pictures.

Although I have a LOT of jazz in my CD collection, there is not much of Abbey Lincoln (assume some compilations will soon appear); but curiously last night we were listening to a Harold Arlen (Over the Rainbow fame) w/ a variety of singers, including Abbey singing a 'scarecrow' song (i.e. If I Only Had a Brain) from the movie mentioned - w/ her unique voice and unusual interpretation!
