I find that Abbey's voice (i love her pure and soft) here is too forced. That song must be sung with more crystallinaty and purity. It's my opinion. Listen to Ella Fitzgerald when she sings it you can see the white snow and the midnight sun.
Wow!! This is one of the best interpretation, of this Lionel Hampton's jazz standard. The pianist is incredible! and Abby Lincoln as great as ever. Excellent artists.
The pianist knocks me out. Now that I listen again, the drummer is really something. Can't hear the bass on my computer speakers, but he is probably just as good.
Ohhhh man Abbey was one of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time! Betty Carter is in the same bracket. Both of their incredible abilities to phrase and improvise a tune were just magical! Love them both equally . Just close your eyes, and as the great Ray Charles would say, LISTEN.!!
This is one of my most FAVORITE song to sing,,as a JAZZ singer it gives me such runs,and to play with the melody is just awesome,,please take time to enjoy this awesome version done by Abby Lincoln,,a truly JAZZ great
a fantastic melody indeed, and as a singer the song's nature invites you to "make love to it", as some say :-) Try the marvellous version by Andy Bey as well !
If you have EVER experienced the Midnight Sun, doesn't Abbey's interpretation capture what you experienced?!…..If you have not.....listen to this rendition a few more times. You'll start to understand, albeit vicariously!
She was great in person. I saw her at the Blue Note many years ago. During the performance, some tourist, who was too busy stuffing his face to appreciate that a legend was singing, kept saying to his wife, "The fries are really good... Have you tried the wings? They're very good, too," etc. Abbey, stopped singing, stared at the wall in front of her, and said, "I could be elsewhere. I have better things to do than waste my time up here. I might as well leave right now. Sir, are you enjoying your fries?" Oh man, she let that idiot have it. The audience was terrified that she was going to walk out, but she continued, and was great. I didn't hear a peek out of that tourist again that night.
I saw Aminata at Smalls Paradise in Harlem in 1984, at Condon's in Greenwich Village, sitting at the bar with McCoy Tyner and Steve Turre, and at Blues Alley in Georgetown in 1996. Abbey NEVER failed to deliver!!!
Heard her at the Vancouver Jazz Festival in the 90's. Ms. Lincoln was certainly onebof a kind... her vocal ability, nuance, sensitivity, power... We are fortunate to have so many excellent recordings she made. 'You've Got To Pay the Band' is a great one, if you haven't heard it.
Fabulous! I had to listen to Ms. Lincoln before I could respect and then get to love her singing voice. And this song is what made me appreciate her along with Sarah, Ella, and Gloria!
This is so beautiful! The mellow yet sultry voice of Abby Lincoln (Aminata) echoes across the room filling the space with magic! The musicians, each stroking their instrument in rhythmic enchantment add to the creation of melody magic!! Thank you for sharing!!!🎶🎵🎶💕💯
How many remember her from the movie with Jayne Mansfield "The girl cant help it" where she wore the famous red dress Marilyn Monroe wore in blonds have more fun,,,,Iconic indeed,,,
The attribution for this work is incomplete. The music was by Hampton and Sonny Burke. The lyric came somewhat after the event - the piece was already out as an instrumental - penned by Johnny Mercer. It's irksome to me as a musician to see slack attributions like this. The performers at the very least should have caught the crediting gaffe and insisted it be corrected to Hampton/Burke/Mercer (since the latter's lyric is performed here). Just... eh... wake up, or get out of the biz.

The piano chording is perfect. The drums are perfect. The bass is perfect, but Abbey's delivery is perfection

@@piloyvind1222 I see (hear) what you mean, but I still prefer Abbey's depth of feeling!
Voz maravilhosa piano impecável parabéns a todos luz divina amém
Abbey feeeeeeeeels it
Ella just sings
@@piloyvind1222 I actually like the edginess, almost haphazardness of her approach. This isn't church. Go ahead and do some damage to the icons...
One of the great jazz singers in our glorious jazz history. Love you, Abby.....
One of my favorite standards. The lyrics are brilliant! RIP Abbey Lincoln.
Love home girl Abby Lincoln and her husband great musical team ! RIP TO BOTH OF THEM@
It doesn't get any better than this......jazz singing at its best. I could listen to Abbey for hours on end.
Unmistakable voice of Abbey Lincoln and the unmistakable attititude she brings to every phrase.
Marc Cary on keyboards...Also worked with Betty Carter
He’s really splendid…!
Transcendent! The substance that Abby LIncoln brings to every song she sang is awe-inspiring. Sing to the saints, Abby - you are among them!
Wow!! This is one of the best interpretation, of this Lionel Hampton's jazz standard. The pianist is incredible! and Abby Lincoln as great as ever. Excellent artists.
Maybe, *the* best!
Find myself singing this often,. What a special treat to hear Abbey sing to this classic melody.
The pianist knocks me out. Now that I listen again, the drummer is really something. Can't hear the bass on my computer speakers, but he is probably just as good.
Who is it? Looks like Gerald Clayton?
Get some headphones and a dac.
1950's my favourite peice of music, Lionel hampton
She's phenomenal. I hear Dexter.
EXACTLY what I was thinking !
Love, Love, Love this,,,,wow what a talent,,,just beautiful

@@JewelsR4ever Bass - John Ormond
Thank you
The Tragic Beauty of Abby Lincoln...
Absolutely awesome. This one of my favorite songs and Ms. Lincoln sings it with so much passion.
So wonderful! Depth in everything - voice, emotion, musicality, sensitivity, soul. How old is she here?
Splendid! It brought tears to my eyes to see this.
great as always, brother!
If you have EVER experienced the Midnight Sun, doesn't Abbey's interpretation capture what you experienced?!…..If you have not.....listen to this rendition a few more times. You'll start to understand, albeit vicariously!
we love you Abbey
So beautiful. So human.
I don’t understand her. Not a fan of this interpretation of “Midnight Sun”.
Abbey, you are forever in my heart and in my soul! I love you forever!
This is just beautiful ❤!
She was fantastic when live and in concert.
Is this song and She on an album? I liked Jazzy Abbey. To me she was a singing poet.
Wholly Earth
If only all all all singers would take heed this is is how singers should sing Nigel Nash from great britain
As Abby got older she started to look like Billy Holiday.
so gorgeous-- there are no words for my appreciation for this post!
A jazz great.
My favorite song! I love this!
wonderful treat !!!! classy !
Which 9 racists did the 'thumbs down' ??? 😲
Terrific
Beyond the words...
Oh Abby, you are just divine..
Takes one to know one
A great presence in music. Freedom suite ,straight ahead ,mendacity , throw it away
The pianist is so marvelous!
Yes!!!
just intense and a lovely Abby!
Ridiculously beautiful and talented. Love you, Abbey.
love and joy to abbey.
Oh shit! This is my favorite! Wow!
Janie Roberts lol I was thinking the same thing
she is... astonishing.
transcendence, abbey and the great artists with her. the drummer is a master of sound and feeling, deep and heartfelt playing!
Who is the piano player? He's really, really tasty.
Isn't he awesome
Marc Cary
Can someone please advise if there Is more recording from this show available? Thanks!
Abbey gathers the fresh flowers of music from the bouquet of Lady Day for a very special display of musical splendor.
what a beautiful way to put it. Well said!
Yes, Billie is everywhere in this glorious interpretation!
@@loiswells7748 Thankyou precious Queen
que suerte encontrarte.
lionel wrote a tune here. abbey clinging to those notes with these players makes this a good'n.
All credit for Lionel's melody but Abbey wouldn't have a thing to sing without Johnny Mercer's poetic lyrics.
Восхищаюсь😊
beautiful, beyond words!
Masterful.
It doesn't get any better.
What a woman. What a history she lived through and was a positive part of. Wish I'd have had a chance to see her in person.
She was great in person. I saw her at the Blue Note many years ago. During the performance, some tourist, who was too busy stuffing his face to appreciate that a legend was singing, kept saying to his wife, "The fries are really good... Have you tried the wings? They're very good, too," etc. Abbey, stopped singing, stared at the wall in front of her, and said, "I could be elsewhere. I have better things to do than waste my time up here. I might as well leave right now. Sir, are you enjoying your fries?" Oh man, she let that idiot have it. The audience was terrified that she was going to walk out, but she continued, and was great. I didn't hear a peek out of that tourist again that night.

Abbey NEVER failed to deliver!!!
Heard her at the Vancouver Jazz Festival in the 90's. Ms. Lincoln was certainly onebof a kind... her vocal ability, nuance, sensitivity, power... We are fortunate to have so many excellent recordings she made. 'You've Got To Pay the Band' is a great one, if you haven't heard it.
The Emotion, The Delivery, The Rhythm.
Gorgeous!
Fabulous! I had to listen to Ms. Lincoln before I could respect and then get to love her singing voice. And this song is what made me appreciate her along with Sarah, Ella, and Gloria!
Please tell us more about Gloria
@@RanBlakePiano
I think Rosalyn Samuel's is referring to singer, Gloria Lynn. Try Greatest Hits.
I like Ms Lincoln singing voice, but not on this song, I always like this song, but only Nancy Wilson interpretation does it for me.
True master
What is the Name of the pianist ?
Marc Cary
Fabulous
love it. every bit of it!
minha deusa!!!
This knocks me out!
wow
I happened across this gem. Wow, what a great performance by ALL. Abby adds a depth to this tune which makes it totally her own. Total magic.
👏👏👏👏👏
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can make your points without steamrolling, no one's trying to be an ignoramus here. Stop insisting they are.
YOuve gotta be nuts
What's that all about? Is it about sex?
Beautiful...
