Of all the major singers of the late 20th century, Nina Simone was
one of the hardest to label. She recorded extensively in the 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. Her repertoire included jazz
standards, gospel and spirituals, classical music, folk songs of
diverse origin, blues, pop, songs from musicals andopera, African
chants, as well as her own compositions. Nina Simone: Piano
Songbook Volume 2 includes a variety of her classic songs including
I Get Along Without You Very Well and Strange Fruit, authentically
transcribed for piano, voice and guitar.
