Nina Simone
So I bought the Six Feet under soundtrack, and shes the first track on there ("Feeling Good"). I've never heard a Jazz song this well done. The only jazz I listen to is instrumental or with very few lyrics (Dizz galespie "Salt Peanuts" for example). I think most vocal jazz tracks of contrived fluff that was general period gloss. This however is closer to singer-songwriter material with a mini orchestra behind it,and I emplore everyone to give this song a chance, listen up until the music comes in before you decide if you don't like it.
Can anyone else recommend some Simone?
