Our Take

Nina Simone's iconic voice meets Duke Ellington's timeless compositions on this white vinyl reissue of their classic collaboration.

From the moment the needle drops, Simone's sultry vocals transport you to a smoky jazz club in the 1960s. Each track is a masterclass in storytelling, with Simone infusing every note with raw emotion and authenticity.

The standout moment comes on "Mood Indigo", where Simone's haunting delivery gives new life to Ellington's melancholic melody. It's impossible not to be swept away by the sheer power of her performance.

But it's not all somber tones and heart-wrenching ballads. Simone brings a playful energy to tracks like "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)", showcasing her versatility as an artist.

The production on this reissue is top-notch, with the white vinyl adding a touch of elegance to an already stellar album. Every crackle and pop serves as a reminder of the rich history behind these recordings.

If you're a fan of jazz, soul, or just great music in general, Nina Simone Sings Duke Ellington is a must-have addition to your collection. It's a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners decades after its initial release. Trust us, you don't want to miss out on this one.
