Moon Faced and Starry Eyed (Verve By Request)

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 US reissue since the album’s release in 1960.

This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
