Amazing Nina Simone - Nina Simone - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Nina Simone made her first trip into the studio in New York during 1957
to record her debut album Little Girl Blue. In addition to her piano playing
and vocals, the session featured Jimmy Bond on bass and Albert “Tootie”
Heath on drums. At 25-years old, Simone’s performance boasted all the
passion and ebullience of youth, and all the skill and grace of a seasoned
veteran. The album has since become a classic, and these were her first
recordings ever!
Simone would not record again for two years. She signed a contract with the
New York-based label Colpix Records in 1959, with whom she recorded her
second album, The Amazing Nina Simone (Colpix SCP407). The LP features
her singing (and playing a little piano) with an orchestra (the personnel is
unknown) under the direction of Bob Mersey (four tunes that complete the
sessions have been added as a bonus).
