What makes me giggle is that most of these dolls—Nina on the Top 10 natch-rally— had such strict upbringings and they turned out to be superb artists. I guess the early discipline explains the freedom they found in the music, as well as their perfect knowledge of their art. No monkey business.
Can someone please tell me what the name of this song is? I want to know so bad, but I dont know where to look for it, seeing as I only know the song by it's tune. It's not "Minnie the Moocher," though many people have tried to tell me it is. Anyways, can someone please please tell me the name of the first song heard in this video??
personally, i like this kind of faster, more frantic version. The slower ones just sort of bore me sometimes, though I do like Sinatra's version of the song. The original with just the instrumentals is also quite nice, but nina simone is a personal favorite.
@Kredeidi I was just thinking about how nowadays diana krall pulls off this kind of jazz piano. her intro on "love being here with you" is as amazing and groovy!
@jayweh I am out of my depth; I have no piano training. Benny Green's comment puts it well I think: "Anyone could learn what Louis Armstrong knows about music in a few weeks. Nobody could learn to play like him in a thousand years." As with Louis' music I can listen to Nina's (piano playing alone) over and over and never tire of it. Both are quickly recognized for who they are. But to my ear - in the blindfold test - Diana's piano playing could be almost any present-day jazz piano performer.
@Stephh211 aahaa!! many bands,,,many era's,,,many styles,,,bluesy jazz,,,uptempo jazz,,,bebop jazz,,,hard bop jazz,,,jazz vocalists,,,piano jazz,,,trumpet jazz,,,saxophone jazz,,,vibes jazz,,,drum jazz,,,ETC. !!! all yours to explore & enjoy,,,have fun on your journey & keep an open mind !! OLE !!
Also a relative newcomer to Nina Simone, yeah I heard her in my youth, but was too much into rock and roll. I missed so much really great music listening to crap.
This song had me popping out of my top !!.....Wow what a treasure!!..Nina at her superb best, rocking that piano and all..!!..Thanks for posting...!!!!
Nina put a record out when I was just getting into jazz back in the fifties. Central Park Blues,was the name. I still think to this day it is some of the best of her work.
I have always loved her intricate piano style which comes from classical study earlier in her life. I believe she attended Juliard. Her talent is extraordinary,not only her voice but her abilities on the piano make her performances riveting,and captivating,hard to get out of your head if you really listen.Miss you sugar.
Once in a while the world is touched with someone with incredible life and talent, Nina Simone is really the greatest singer I have heard who can express emotions especially the feeling of dispair, sadness and futility of life. I love her song feeling and mood indigo. The word greatness was invested for people like her.
Absolutely one of the "touched" ones! An incredible artist that truely needs to be admired and willfully worshipped! Just listening to the intonation gets the tears welling up!
why is this so upbeat? I like it but I always thought of mood indigo as a depressing song, she sounds like shes glad her man left. Listen to frank sinatras version and youll see what I'm talking about
@greyk <-- thats what Jazz aBOUT - the License to take a melody, harmony, metre, and turn it upside down, tear it to shreds, make it something else. there IS a manic note in her rendition - its the way she felt at the moment, i guess. maybe you like another version better for that reason, but those of us who love Jazz love it beCAUSE of this.. that said, Simone was brilliant - think i hear a Bach fugue in her piano introduction - nevertheless i like a more "down" version of Mood Indigo too..
il y a 1 minute plz plz don't give the role for the movie to mary j blige they should give it to ANDREA MARTIN cause she physicly look like he have an endrogine voice like her and she one of the best producer for 90's mary sux now n she can't play the role like martin
Miss Nina OWNED this song! The best interpretation of this song ever. One of the finest song interpreters of our time. She took a song and kicked ass with it. Dear God, why don't we have artists like Nina Simone these days.
@butfulmuzik you ain't never lied honey!! And that's a damn question...I honestly think "so-called" "artists" nowadays lack SUBSTANCE, DEPTH & true LOVE for their craft...everyone is chasing the all mighty dollar...No one "mainstream" has true love for what they do...!! That's just my guestamation...PEACE...and keep loving music of substance!!!
@Socaiona I loved your reply to my comment and I agree with you all the way. We were blessed with artists who were our rich treasures-- Miss Nina, Miss Billie Holiday, Miss Sarah Vaughan, Miss Ella Fitzgerald, just to name a few. They have been the very strong backbone of some of the best music ever and they have filled my heart with such incredible joy and gratitude to have experienced and enjoyed their artistry.
@butfulmuzik LOL! and I absolutely loved your reply to my reply...it truly shows that you're definitely NOT "brand new" to music of substance by the few female vocalists you listed..I absolute love Dinah Washington's "I'm a fool to want you"...man...that's called out a few cleansing tears...and "Angel Eyes" is another favorite track the chords and arrangement resonates very deeply with my moody self a lot of times!...
@Socaiona Oh, now when you mention Miss Dinah Washington's name, you are talking about an angel who was loaned to earth. She was first class in every way, and we lost that sweet woman way too soon. It always inspires me that all of these incredible artists were so unique and individual. You could close your eyes and someone could put any one of their songs on, and you would immediately know who it was by their voice. No one has ever done them better!
Bold, eccentric, andragynous, brave...that was Nina Simone..a true talent. She fused elements of jazz,gospel, bebop in her music & the arrangements were brillant!!! thanks much for this adition morisson0909!!! I've been tryin' to fine her 'Blue Prelude' song...think u can help a brotha out? Thats also a goose bumps/hair raiser tune of her's...love her,miss her...Nina rocks!!!
Nina - I just discovered you here in 2010. Oh, have I ever missed a lot. She really did jazz her own way, but what a great way that is. Her amazing Bach/Jazz improvs on the piano are pure delight. Of course, her unique voice and earth-mother personality just do you good, if you are a human.
I just started listening to her about two years ago. A must have purchase is To Be Free: The Nina Simone collection. 4 cds of all of her best songs and unreleased tracks plus a video documentary
@not2tees If you only just found about her in 2010, imagine all the other brilliant music you haven't and probably never will discover,. *sigh* there just isn't enough time.
@ecclesiasticous That's one of the best things to cultivate, when faced with the twin forces of art and time--humility. You can never know enough to know enough. You just have to turn to artists like Nina and humble yourself to the indescribably mastery they drop in your lap, and find a way to let your immeasurable gratitude be enough.
I hope you have heard !wild is the wind! and !I get along without you very well"....better late than never! Welcome to the club!
There are so many great hits. Nina made 50 or I think 60 Album and I have them all. Always known of Nina but I didn't truly discovered her until about 5 years ago when I was 17!
if nina simone and tom waits were to do an album together, i cant imagine how much intense that would be... their music are not from the same style, but no one can match their intensity in their musics.
@Maskedhaven: might B 2 jazzy 4 U & that's OK w/ me. Your opinion certainly has my respect. But 2 me this woman is drenched in jazz! Also don't forget: "Mood Indigo" is a standard in the jazz canon; so why wouldn't it be jazzy? But my opinion doesn't matter either, 'cause we both love her. Am I correct? Best regards.
I grew up with motown from my older sisters and then played drums to Floyd, Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis etc. Now I'm 50. This is incredible and I'm sorry I've been missing out
Hey man, Wikipedia has been known to have incorrect info. Go by the sheet music Pub date. The Cat on the boards is cookin'! And Nina's pipes - well they are the end Daddy!

Wonderful! I have been listening to this for 40+ years. I saw her in person at the Showboat Lounge in DC in the 60's. She sure had it.

Actually a piece of Bach in there. Great music meats great music.

Also in "Love me or leave me" she drifts into Bach - just brilliant. Her counter point as she also sings takes the breath away

That IS amazing she can actually play and sing two different tempi.
