Max Roach + 4 Moon Faced and Starry Eyed (Verve By Request Series) 180g LP

Roach’s solid group featuring Ray Bryant, Julian Priester, and Stanley and Tommy Turrentine are joined by the great Abbey Lincoln on vocals for two tracks, “Never Leave Me” and Cole Porter’s “I Concentrate on You.” A fantastic and often overlooked album, this is the first U.S. reissue since the album’s release in 1960. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
