Abbey Lincoln & Hank Jones - When There is Love (LP)

In her intimate 1992 recording with jazz piano legend Hank Jones, Abbey Lincoln contemplates the subject of love, sounding more optimistic than usual.

About When There is Love, Lincoln noted in 1992: "I have a sombre outlook and assessment of the world in which we live, but I also have love, love for the beautiful man that makes life bearable in an otherwise unbearable world. So this is my offering on the altar of conjugal love."

She offers highly personalized interpretations of four of her originals and 10 standards, among which Duke Ellington's Black Butterfly, The Nearness of You, You Came a Long Way from St. Louis, Fats Waller's Jitterbug Waltz and You Won't Forget Me are most memorable. A truly moving testament from two of jazz's finest artists.

This 140-gram vinyl is the first international vinyl reissue, pressed at Pallas, and is presented in a wide-spine, single-sleeve jacket.
