NINA’S CHOICE
Nina’s Choice presents the multi-talented artist Nina Simone in an album of expressive vocal and piano interpretations. She personally has chosen to bring you a fine assortment of traditional and newer folk music, blues, and pop standards.
She shows distinctive versatility in her mastery of music of all kinds. Regardless of the size of her supporting group, her own sound is always dominant.
Her treatment of the faster numbers displays her complete conception of rhythm, while the more tender songs give evidence of her warm understanding of the balled.
