Nina Simone and Piano! is an album by American jazz singer-songwriter and pianist Nina Simone.
Contents
On this concept album we only hear Simone's voice accompanied by her own piano playing. The album was critically acclaimed, but sold badly. Part of this was because the previous album 'Nuff Said! (1968), featured a surprise hit single ("Ain't Got No-I Got Life"), raising expectations which the concept driven And Piano! could not measure up to.
Nina was very fond of this album, stating in Mojo magazine that instead of being remembered by "My Baby Just Cares for Me", she would've rather be remembered for Nina Simone and Piano!.
