Nina Simone's inclusion in Verve's Jazz Masters series is a bit suspect; there was a lot of jazz in Simone, true, but
wasn't there quite a bit of pop and soul as well, not to mention some blues?  Anyway, this is an excellent survey of her
mid-'60s work, with 16 tracks spanning 1964 to 1966 that find Simone at her most versatile and assured.  Quite a range
is encompassed here: traditional folk ( "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair" ), R&B (her jazzy
rendition of "I Put a Spell on You" ), Jacques Brel ( "Ne Me Quitte Pas" ), Billie Holiday (
"Strange Fruit" ), the Gershwins ( "I Loves You, Porgy" ), Rodgers & Hart ( "Little Girl
Blue" ), and modern jazz (Nat Adderley's "Work Song" ).  Other highlights are the mesmerizing "See
Line Woman" and the original version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," which was a hit for the Animals
shortly afterwards.  On the two original compositions, "Four Women" and "Mississippi Goddam," Simone
confronts racism in a head-on fashion rare for the time.  Discographical details: the version of "Little Girl
Blue" is a mono alternate take, and the recording of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" is not from the
mid-'60s, but a 1987 live album. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide 



Nina Simone, born Eunice Kathleen Waymon on February 21, 1933, of North Carolina has provided many decades of heartfelt
and defiant music bathed in a jumbled blend of classical, jazz, and blues.

This is the first Nina Simone CD I have purchased and I am glad that I chose this CD as an introduction. 



I have listened to a variety of Jazz female vocalists/musicians and Nina is vibrant, headstrong, poignant, and
intelligent.



Each song is caked with significance. It is an album that makes all emotions swell like a river engorged. 



Track Review:



1. Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair

Review: Her voice is low and haunting like the fog that covers a dewy morning. There is a melancholy lust that weaves
the tale of remembered and lost love. You really feel the loss and love.



2. I Put A Spell On You

Review: This could never be confused for the DJ Sonique dance anthem. Simone is firey, full of a growling headiness of
desire in expressing her love but wantonness to control a lover that wants no part in the affairs of her heart.



3. Love Me or Leave Me 

Review: A beautiful and saucy mix of Jazz, Pop, and Classical elements. You really get to hear Nina's passionate piano
skills. Bach never seemed so playful and wily. With the addition of Nina's frim fram lusty reminders, she really tells
it like it is - example, "there'll be nobody unless that somebody is you."



4. Little Girl Blue

Review: The song starts off with Simone using "Good King Wenceslas" as a counter to the precision jazzy
background., which is stark and refreshing. "Good King Wenceslas" expresses the spirit of youth and the jazz
lays the depth of experience. Simone plays a tug of war between reminiscing and a quiet sadness brought by a rainy
day.



5. My Baby Just Cares For Me

Review: Uptempo and irreverent, Nina states the facts and she shows her sassiness on this track. She's confident and the
music certainly reflects it. 



6. I Loves You Porgy

Review: A signature stamp reflecting the versatility that is Miss Simone. A smoky and sentimental love song, there is an
earnest plea to be a woman wrapped in love. A longing to be held by a solid manifestation of her love.



7. Work Song

Review: This song reflects the hardship on the plight of the black laborer during her era. This song is an earnest tale
of how poverty and poor treatment can lay some rough stones for the path of life. 



8. Ne Me Quitte Pas

Review: I think the linear notes really state the meaning of this piece more than I could. "Singing in a tired,
cracked (not so cracked IMHO) voice, she makes the pain of clutching on to the last threads of love seem tangibly
real."



9. Wild Is The Wind

Review: Sultry and sweetly painful. As the wind blows, you see a love unraveling; touching briefly but only to be
carried away serenely as Autumn carries leaves miles high into the sky. Nina's voice reminds me of another singer who
happened to be the frontwoman of a 90s group named October Project.



10. See-Line Woman

Review: A song whose atmosphere lifts your spirits and embraces you in an energetic Caribbean-African ocean dance. The
song features flute, percussion, hand clapping, and pulsating chant. Simone sings of a mysterious woman, a siren of the
sea who can "make a man lose his head."



11. Strange Fruit

Review: A cover of Billie Holliday's signature tune. I honestly have never heard this song but have only heard of it
through reading. When I listened to this song, I broke down in tears. The pain I felt in my heart clamped down on my
soul and enraged me. The song leaves you with more than an image but your senses are attacked. I have never in my young
life have been shaken so hard to tears by a song. This song is eloquent and engaging.



12. Pirate Jenny

Review: "A tale of humiliation and murderous revenge" as stated by the linear notes. It is a haunting song.
The piano mimics the whole affair. Nina's voice is vibrating tempestuous and quite frightening. This is a song of
defiance and action.



13. Four Women

Review: A song that seesaws and makes you want to walk. Nina Simone sings of four black women of different skin tones
but share a common plight. It definitely reflects the face of racism within a same race. Nina sums up that even though
differences may be apparent, all African American women of all tones have shared many of the same experiences.



14. Mississippi Goddamn

Review: The song has a show tune quality but there is an ever-present rage and heartbreak. She talks about equality of
African Americans and speaks of the indignities suffered by tragic assassinations, murders, and slow change. This song
is a very scathing accusation of American politics and values.



15. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Review: A very scorching and tender reflection of wanting some acceptance and love.



16. I Hold No Grudge

Review: A bitter anthem between the relationship Simone and America shares. Simone no longer lives in the US but in
Europe. As the linear notes explain "In Europe, Simone says, she has finally found peace."



I hope this review has been somewhat helpful. I really conclude that Simone is a worldly treasure. Experience her today,
you won't regret it. ~ L. L. Shipp
