Nina Simone's 1957 debut, Little Girl Blue, introduced her singular blend of jazz, blues, and classical influences. Backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath, she delivered timeless renditions of "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "I Love You, Porgy," songs that would define her career. This essential release captures Simone's early genius, now enriched with bonus tracks from her first Town Hall concert.
