Description
Book SynopsisOf all the major singers of the late 20th century, the author was one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in soul, jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a 'soul' singer in terms of emotion, rather than form.
Trade ReviewOver a dozen excellent transcriptions of some of Nina Simone’s best-known songs. What more can one say? Evergreens, self penned numbers and pop hits from one of the greatest exponents of jazz piano and voice. Also with chord boxes for guitar for that extra bit of appeal, pianists should scoop this up – and a few braver vocalist and guitarists too.
