Product Description

Title: Nina Simone – Little Girl Blue Format: pink coloured vinyl Label: BMG Barcode: 4099964051469

Release date: August 9th 2024

Little Girl Bluewas Nina Simone’s first studio recording and features her in an intimate trio setting with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath. Many of the tracks would become true classics, among them her perennial version of ‘My Baby Just Cares For Me’. The album introduced Nina not only as a brilliant singer, but also as a unique jazz pianist. Simone’s signature tune, ‘I Loves You, Porgy’, appears here in her first studio version.

AllMusicreviewer Thom Jurek gave the album four out of five stars, stating that “Little Girl Blue showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her up-tempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant.”
