Ran Blake – Christine Correa: Down Here Below – Tribute to Abbey Lincoln Volume One
Non che questo sia in realtà un gran vantaggio: una certa verbosità della cantante, l'approccio e il timbro non propriamente calibrati ed eleganti, penalizzano alquanto il lavoro, che trova nel gioco pianistico blakiano il suo principale motivo d'interesse e di pregio.
Fra i momenti migliori, indicheremmo la prima versione di "Down Here Below" e "Retribution," entrambi con voce e piano a spartirsi gli spazi, nonché "Bird Alone" e "African Lady," vale a dire gli episodi in cui la Correa (nel secondo caso senza accompagnamento alcuno) offre le sue prove più convincenti.
