Nina Simone made her first trip into the studio in New York during 1957 to record her debut album 'Little Girl Blue'. In addition to her piano playing and vocals, the session featured Jimmy Bond on bass and Albert 'Tootie' Heath on drums. At 25-years old, Simone's performance boasted all the passion and ebullience of youth, and all the skill and grace of a seasoned veteran. Simone would not record again for two years. She signed a contract with the New York-based label Colpix Records in 1959, with whom she recorded her second album, 'The Amazing Nina Simone'. The LP features her singing (and piano playing) with an orchestra under the direction of Bob Mersey. This edition of the album features five bonus tracks.
Track Listing:
1. Blue Prelude - Nina Simone
2. Children Go Where I Send You - Nina Simone
3. Tomorrow (We Will Meet Once More) - Nina Simone
4. Stompin' at the Savoy - Nina Simone

Condition: Brand New Ships from: Melbourne
The Amazing Nina Simone, released in July 1959 on Colpix, represents an early pivot in Nina Simones recorded identity. While her debut album leaned heavily on her pianistic instincts, on this record she steps further into the role of vocalist supported by lush string and horn arrangements crafted by Bob Mersey. The repertoire spans jazz standards, folk, gospel, and ballads, reflecting her versatility and desire to explore emotional nuance. Though Nina continues to play piano, the orchestral backing allows her voice and interpretive gifts to come forward in a new light.
On songs like Willow Weep for Me, It Might as Well Be Spring, and her original Children Go Where I Send You, Simone blends clarity, pathos, and expressive restraint. The record captures the tension of artistic transitio
