5.0 out of 5 stars 2 dazzling gems for the price of one..., 11 May 2000
The intimate setting on "Nina Simone and Piano" (the first part of this CD) offers one of the finest backdrops I've ever heard for Nina Simone's earthy, unique vocal style.

From the bluesy "Seems I'm never tired of loving you" to the deeply introspective (though oddly the song's about reincanation) "Who am I", the first half of this wonderful CD includes many true diamonds. The mood change on "Another Spring" from one of despair and loneliness to an upswelling of joyous optimism always brings a smile to my face.

Nina's fine piano playing on "Nina Simone and Piano" leaves very little to be desired and reminds you that besides being a vocalist, she is also an accomplished pianist.

Then on the second half of the album she brings you the sound, I think, of soul in the sixties (being only 28, this last statement is mostly supposition; I wasn't there). I'd especially recommend "Go to Hell", "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free", "Whatever I am" and "Cherish" but really, every song on this portion of the CD is particularly likeable.

Included in the paper work accompanying this CD is an excerpt from a March 1999 interview which I shall reproduce...

Interviewer: Would you rather be remembered for 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' or...

Simone: I'd rather be remembered for 'Nina Simone and Piano!'

That, probably says it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more trawling carbootsales grubbing in cardboard boxes, 13 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Someone stole my 'Silk and Soul' in the late sixties and I've searched for it ever since. No other tracks by NS, over 30 years of listening, match-up to Cherish, The Look of Love & I Wish I knew How it Would Feel to be Free. Classic. Magic. Rereleased at last !

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good indeed, 27 Feb 2006
Hi, I have just disovered this album and thoroughly recommend, 'I Get Along Without You Very Well', a wonderfully sad and melodic offering. 'The Desperate Ones' is even better, raw, naked emotion and a really funny seven beat bom, ba, bom bom, ba bom bom sung accompaniment that sounds as if it should be a bass line - it's very odd but strangely moving. There is the occasional poor track- Everyone's Gone to the Moon but the diamonds outweigh the duds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful is too good a word.
Good grief. What sort of mood was she in when she flung this lot together? Was it some sort of ironic joke? Read more

So sorry but I do not like the Piano part of this Two Lp on one CD album at all. And I have tried. Really. And I have tried to consider its' context too. Read more
