Avec sa voix grave et son jeu de piano sophistiqué et funky, Nina Simone est une icône intemporelle de la musique américaine. Artiste engagée dans la lutte pour les droits civiques, elle avait une sensibilité à fleur de peau dont émanait un talent sans pareil. En effet, personne n’a su comme elle mélanger avec autant de justesse le jazz à la soul ou le classique au rhythm and blues. Olivier Julien a réalisé une intégrale de la bouillonnante première période de la pianiste, pendant laquelle elle enregistre bon nombre de ses succès dont son emblématique « My Baby just Cares for Me ». Patrick FRÉMEAUX
« Le jazz est un terme blanc pour parler des Noirs. Ma musique est de la musique classique noire. » Nina SIMONE
Her deep voice and the funky sophistication of her piano have made Nina Simone a timeless icon of American music. Her extreme sensitivity as a militant artist in the struggle for civil rights was matched only by her unrivalled talent as a vocalist and instrumentalist: nobody could come close to her when she infused jazz with soul, or classical music with rhythm and blues. Here Olivier Julien has brought together a complete set of Nina Simone’s effervescent recordings from her early period, featuring a great number of her hits including the emblematic “My Baby just Cares for Me”.
