Description:
Released in June 1958, this album (originally issued under the title Little Girl Blue on
Bethlehem BCP-6028) was Nina Simoneâ??s first studio recording ever. Made when she
was 25-years old, the album was a huge success and led to a tremendous career that
would yield over 80 studio sessions. It was originally issued on the Bethlehem label and
features the singer/pianist backed by bassist Jimmy Bond (who had been a member of
the Chet Baker Quartet among other groups) and drummer Albert â??Tootieâ? Heath (one of
the celebrated Heath brothers, along with saxophonist Jimmy Heath, and bassist Percy
Heath). Many of the tracks from this LP would become true classics, among them her
perennial versions of â??My Baby Just Cares for Meâ? and â??I Loves You, Porgyâ?. (The latter
track was also released as a single.) Simoneâ??s piano is well featured throughout the LP, but
â??Central Park Bluesâ? and â??Good Baitâ? are the only purely instrumental tracks.
