One of the last true great jazz vocalists, 73-year old Abbey Lincoln continues
to produce timeless recordings and live concert dates. Its Me is as strong as
any entry in her half-century discography.

Lincoln shows us again that she excels in being both a most memorable
interpreter and an original singer/songwriter. Her recent week-long residency at
the Blue Note shed such a light: accentuating like no other, every word sung
like her last and as much from the soul as diaphragm. Listen no further than her
enunciation of the crazy as a loon lyric in Skylark, or her singing abandon and
still unbelievable range on Runnin Wild, or - if you were in the audience on one
of her sold-out final nights in October - her most memorable rendition of Mr.
Tambourine Man.

With seven of the eleven tracks having orchestral arrangements, three by Alan
Broadbent, Its Me features a characteristic batch of top-notch supporters. The
underappreciated flautist and altoist James Spaulding is the albums prime
soloist. His flute on the albumâ€™s coda, Can You Dig It, matches the
bouncy drumming of Jaz Sawyer and solid-as-can-be bass of Ray Drummond, while
his alto is full of vibrato and energy on They Call It Jazz.
