ABOUT THIS ITEM

Nina Simone's first album is quite simply one of the finest debuts in the history of recorded music. Backed here only by Jimmy Bond on bass and Albert Heath on drums, this stripped down trio format brings Nina's considerable talents (as a classically trained pianist) to the fore. Her soulful versions of songs like "Mood Indigo", "My Baby Just Cares For Me" and "I Loves You, Porgy" have all become standards in their own right and Nina the declared idol of many.
