She will be singing songs written by Ms. Lincoln, songs Ms. Lincoln made her own, and lyrics written by her to prominent jazz musicians’ compositions. Teri’s 2012 release "DEAR ABBEY: The Music of Abbey Lincoln" produced by Brian Bacchus, made the Jazz Journalist Association’s “best of” vocal releases list for 2012, and was featured as one of the five best tribute releases chosen by Laurence Donohue-Greene, Editor of New York City Jazz Record, in their January 2013 issue.
Teri Roiger Quartet Sings Abbey Lincoln at the Zinc Bar NYC - She will be joined by pianist JAMES WEIDMAN, one of the most versatile pianists in the world of music. He performed for many years with Abbey Lincoln and currently performs with Joe Lovano, among many others. Well known for his versatility, he is hailed as "unfailingly lyrical," "convivially assertive," and "exquisite.” A longtime pianist in Ms. Roiger's bands, Weidman’s style complements the voice perfectly. Bassist JOHN MENEGON’s tenure with legendary saxophonists David “Fathead” Newman and Dewey Redman provided a solid foundation for him to continue his explorations as a bassist, bandleader, and arranger. He currently plays in Joe Lovano’s “Classic Quartet.” Menegon crafted the imaginative arrangements on Teri’s DEAR ABBEY recording. “New York bassist John Menegon is in the line of George Mraz and Michael Moore; a harmonically sophisticated bassist with technical facility who swings hard when it’s called for.”

Christopher Loudon, JAZZTIMES: Teri Roiger…Powerfully moving... sagacious warmth...impressively deep... Brian Bacchus, producer: "Teri's choice of Abbey's body of work is impeccable and her voice and phrasing seem to have been specially made for this unique repertoire.
