 | | Although she is perhaps better known for the show tunes and standards of the first stage of her career, I tend to prefer the slightly later RCA records (this is one of them) and their more experimental / modern references. |
 | | "Nina Simone And Piano!" is a great combination of the two - not quite as steeped in contemporaneous covers as her other RCA records, but still "current", while the music is stripped down from both (earlier) jazz and (later) rock-styled arrangements. |
 | | Nina Simone (1933-2003),born Eunice Kathleen Waymon,indeed was a beautiful human beeing.Because of her political and social thoughts; because of her voice,one of the most moving of the 20th century,with Billie,Dinah and Lil Green;and because of her amazing piano playing.Yes,this Lady belongs to the small club of the best piano players,with Hines,Duke,Monk,Bud,MaryLou,Fats and Tatum. |
