About this album
Nina Simone and Piano! distils Simone’s artistry to its most immediate form: voice, piano and emotionally exact interpretation. Issued in 1969, it finds her moving through jazz, pop and soul-jazz material with a dramatic restraint that makes every phrase count. Rather than relying on elaborate arrangements, Simone turns each song into a small theatre of feeling, shaping familiar and lesser-known repertoire alike with control, tension and wit. The album reflects the breadth of her late-1960s output, when her work was becoming increasingly direct, personal and politically resonant, and it remains a revealing showcase for her singular command of song.
Genre: Jazz, Soul & Funk
