Our Take

NINA SIMONE Sings Ellington / At Newport is a delightful mix of jazz and soul that showcases the legendary singer at the height of her powers. Simone's unique take on Duke Ellington's classic compositions is nothing short of mesmerising, with her powerful vocals effortlessly navigating the complex melodies and intricate arrangements. From the hauntingly beautiful "Mood Indigo" to the upbeat and energetic "Cotton Tail", Simone's interpretations are both soulful and stirring, evoking a range of emotions in the listener.

Recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1957, this album captures Simone in her element, commanding the stage with an undeniable presence and magnetic charm. Her piano playing is equally impressive, adding a layer of depth and complexity to each track. The chemistry between Simone and her band is palpable, with each musician feeding off her energy and delivering stellar performances throughout.

Despite the passage of time, this album remains as fresh and relevant as ever, a testament to Simone's timeless talent and enduring legacy. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her music, NINA SIMONE Sings Ellington / At Newport is a must-listen for anyone with an appreciation for soul-stirring, boundary-pushing music. Simone's unparalleled artistry shines through on every track, making this a truly essential addition to any music lover's collection.
