That's Him! is the second album by American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln featuring tracks recorded in 1957 for the Riverside label.

Eric Ajaye of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation wrote:

"While her debut was a flowery orchestral session featuring a big band with strings, this sophomore date pitted Abbey's expressive voice against some of New York's leading voices... Here, we get our first glimpse of a revitalised Abbey Lincoln, and both she and Roach would take this incandescent energy into the next decade with music made in response to the civil rights movement."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Dorham is one of the most naturally vocal of the bop trumpeters and as such is an ideal partner, though it's the still underrated Kelly who carries the day." - Wikipedia

Abbey Lincoln's Affair... A Story of a Girl in Love is the debut album by jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln. It was recorded on November 5 and 6, 1956, in Hollywood, California, and was released in 1957 by Liberty Records.

The album cover depicts Lincoln sprawled on the floor, wearing a tight gown. Years later, she reflected: "That was the way they packaged women singers then, and I went along with it because I didn't know any better. I didn't yet think of myself as a serious artist—or as a serious person, either. All I wanted was to be thought of as beautiful and desirable."

In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "At the time, Lincoln was making the transition from a potential sex symbol and lounge singer to a dramatic jazz interpreter... Lincoln's straightforward delivery was already impressive and pleasing." - Wikipedia

Percussion Bitter Sweet is an album by jazz drummer Max Roach recorded in 1961, released on Impulse! Records.

Review by Scott Yanow

A classic album, and one of the finest of drummer Max Roach's very productive career. The illustrious sidemen (trumpeter Booker Little; trombonist Julian Priester; Eric Dolphy on alto, bass clarinet, and flute; tenorman Clifford Jordan; pianist Mal Waldron, and bassist Art Davis, in addition to some guest percussionists) all have opportunities to make strong contributions. Dolphy's pleading alto solo on "Mendacity" is particularly memorable. Abbey Lincoln has two emotional and very effective vocals, but it is the overall sound of the ensembles and the political nature of the music that make this set (along with Roach's Freedom Now Suite) quite unique in jazz history.
