Sings Duke Ellington!
She's taken a flock of Duke Ellington tunes, some familiar and some not-so-familiar,Ā and handed them interesting and intriguing renditions in her own special style. TheĀ album's a bit straighter than later efforts, with large backings by Stu Phillips that alsoĀ feature vocals by the Malcolm Dodds Singers. The result is a masterpiece, proof thatĀ even in her early years, Nina could completely transform anything she laid her handsĀ on, and unlock a soulful depth that even the original recordings might have missed.Ā Titles include "I Got It Bad", "Solitude", "The Gal From Joe's", "It Don't Mean A Thing",Ā and "I Like The Sunrise".
