Nina Simone was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Nina Simone and Jazz Masters 17 together. After seeing Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair, I had to have a good Nina Simone cd. eleven years ago, Nina Simone briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “I Put A Spell On You”. Smart music for smart people.
The song feels complete. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Nina Simone allows each song to breathe and flourish. My Baby Just Cares For Me - I just love it. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Nina Simone. As always, Nina Simone’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Ne Me Quitte Pas - Okay, I just talked about depth. Nina Simone rocks harder than ever with Wild Is The Wind. Jazz Masters 17 couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track See-Line Woman. In Strange Fruit the music gets its power. A unique and uplifting song. Four Women is a very catchy tune. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood is simply marvelous. I Hold No Grudge is exquisite and different song.
