Nina Simone - Trilogy

Her first LP, 1957's Little Girl Blue (stellar jazz-piano chops she displays on that one), plus a pair from '59: The Amazing Nina Simone (her Colpix debut) and one of her all-time best, at Town Hall. She does riveting renditions of Mood Indigo; Little Girl Blue; I Loves You Porgy; Love Me or Leave Me; My Baby Just Cares for Me; Blue Prelude; Solitaire; Summertime; Cotton Eyed Joe; the Other Woman; Fine and Mellow, and more!
