Darned cockwombles.
Well, the juke thread just reminded me that i wanted to ask for more recommendations on this lady. Was never too keen on the more trad jazz stuff she did (for which she seems to be best known, at least amongst my Baby-Don't-Care- For-Me-rerelease generation?).
The more stretched out groove-based stuff (often piano, naturally) is absolutely amazing though - African Mailman, Sinnerman, My Sweet Lord/Today is a Killer.
i know i've heard amazing strings- based songs she did that I've never been able to identify.
Anyone give me further Nina material to check out, or put me onto artists who may have done similar kinds of things (the vibes of the stuff I like reminds me most of Dr John's Gris-Gris, of all the things in my collection - which I don't know is a strange comparison or not)?
