Little Girl Blue 180gr LP

Nina Simone (p, voc); Jimmy Bond (b); Albert ?Tootie? Heath (dr)

'Little Girl Blue', released in 1957, was Nina
Simone's first recording, originally issued on the
Bethlehem label. Backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and
Albert 'Tootie' Heath, it 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. The album also introduced a
fine jazz pianist. Simone was a solid improviser
who never strayed far from the blues. Check the
opener, her reading of Duke Ellington's 'Mood
Indigo', which finger-pops and swings while
keeping the phrasing deep-blue. It is contrasted
immediately with one of the -- if not the --
definitive reads of Willard Robison's steamy
leave-your-lover ballad 'Don't Smoke in Bed'. The
title track, written by Rodgers & Hart, features
'Good King Wenceslas' as a classical prelude to
one of the most beautiful pop ballads ever
written. It is followed immediately by the funky
swing in 'Love Me or Leave Me' with a smoking
little piano solo in the bridge where Bach meets
Horace Silver and Bobby Timmons. It's also
interesting to note that while this was her first
recording, the record's grooves evidence an artist
who arrives fully formed; many of the traits
Simone displayed throughout her career as not only
a vocalist and pianist but as an arranger are put
on first notice here. 'My Baby Just Cares for Me'
has a stride shuffle that is extrapolated on in
the piano break. Her instrumental and improvising
skills are put to good use on Tadd Dameron's 'Good
Bait', which is transformed into something
classical from its original bebop intent. 'You'll
Never Walk Alone' feels more like some regal
gospel song than the Rodgers & Hammerstein show
tune it was. Of course, one of Simone's signature
tunes was her version of 'I Loves You, Porgy',
which appears here for the first time and was
released as a single. Her own 'Central Park Blues'
is one of the finest jazz tunes here.
