The World Is Failing Down: The Abbey Lincoln Story
1/2. Jez Nelson surveys the career of one of the most formidable of jazz vocalists, Abbey Lincoln, based around a rare and extensive interview.
Now in her eighth decade, Lincoln reflects on a life that took her from supper-club chanteuse to post-bop work with Mingus, Monk and Roach, fame and fortune as a Hollywood actress, and struggle and infamy as a political activist. Producer Kathryn Willgress
