Nina Simone Summertime

My own little tribute to one of my favorite songs

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

The emotional intensity of Nina Simone's music is beyond comparison. This rendition is so raw and honest.

I agree!

[@ChosenLove7]

Lovely isn't it🤌🏾🎼🎶🎵🎉🍓🍹🌹💋enjoy.

[@agirlcalledrinn]

That "White Noise" people are complaining about isn't white noise. It's the snare drums played with wire brushes. Very, very common in jazz and blues. In this case, I think it was supposed to sound like the leaves rustling. This is done in every performance of this song she has recorded. It is supposed to sound that way. If anything, the quality of the recording is slightly muted, and I'm betting it's because of the acoustics of the room the live recording was made in. You will notice this is a lot of older live recordings. If I'm correct, this is from At Town Hall (1959), recorded live at The Town Hall (123W 43rd St. NYC) which is still in use, but is the old fashioned half-bowl shaped auditorium style venue. Put the bowl together with 1950s tech, and it's not too hard to figure out where sound issues come from-the ones that are real issues.

Great song

[@richardmbowman]

RinnsKitchen Thanks....

[@SoNoFTheMoSt]

RinnsKitchen lols i was thinking am i going mad? cause i dont hear any white noise lols :} just the brushes on the snare :}

[@MythicGuitarCompany]

RinnsKitchen agreed. (about the white noise). most people are probably listening on laptop speakers or a cell phone, or crappy computer speakers. it's hard to tell what's really going on without decent speakers. This recording is amazing though... im glad i happened upon it

[@mamatibborscassady9388]

Mitch B it's lovely

[@septimuswarrensmith879]

Very nice ticklin of the ivories! And the beat is just right. Nina was a highly talented pianist, but she barely ever needed to actually look at the keys while she was singing. Her hands are magic. Her soul is out of this world. And her singing has no imitators. Just precious, spine tingling, power.

[@xoen6]

Beautiful comment.

[@TheMrCompletely]

I've heard more versions of this song than I can count and this is one of the most unique and soulful. Love Nina.

[@ianmorton4136]

The genius of Gershwin with the genius of Nina. Great bass.

[@photo161]

The glorious and great Nina Simone...She finds so much to say in this classic tune and says it with such subtlety and conviction, that mid-way I found myself suddenly in tears...

[@Leo-hz8dq]

[@kymsutton9578]

Untouchable! Nina does it with Finesse and Fire🔥 Sangs it like those times we will always remember.

[@lindajones99]

She smoked this song intro before she even said one word love that piano sound classy.

[@normansmithers7631]

take a listen to 19yo slovakian patricia janeckova's terrific version of this classic on you tube.

[@tonymatthews6748]

This was a formidable period in the era of Jazz...Great improvisations!

[@MrKrock1982]

Very beautiful rendition..but she was a MASTER at her craft..love her :)

[@carolannmiles-hughes6222]

She makes the piano talk! The Lady is too tough..way ahead of her time.. I am still happy to hear it.
