In her intimate 1992 recording with jazz piano legend Hank Jones, Abbey Lincoln contemplates the subject of love, showing more optimism than usual. Regarding 'When There is Love,' Lincoln noted in 1992: "I have a dark vision and assessment of the world we live in, but I also have love, love for the beautiful man who makes life bearable in an otherwise unbearable world. So this is my offering on the altar of married love."
She offers highly personalized interpretations of four of her original compositions and ten standards, the most memorable of which are 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." A particularly moving testament from two jazz giants.
This edition is the first international 140-gram vinyl reissue.
