LITTLE GIRL BLUE
1959, BETHLEHEM
Frankly, how many women have made their mark on jazz in the fifties? Who else but Nina Simone burst onto the scene with debut recordings of the caliber of what we hear on Little Girl Blue? Recorded in 1957 and released two years later, the album opens with Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," which Nina Simone plays on the piano before singing, and it's already breathtaking. The ten tracks that follow (including "My Baby Just Cares") listen like the program for her entire career to come: blues, jazz, classical piano, gospel, a heart-wrenching voice in the ballads and commanding on the more upbeat tempos... She doesn't just practice, she masters everything she plays and transforms it into Nina Simone's music, instantly recognizable. In a simple trio with a bassist and a drummer, Nina Simone laid it all down with this first record.
