Nina's Spell.......2007-02-18

Nina Simone can be considered an acquired taste--like black coffee, fine brandy, or good cigars. With a voice that's less than perfect, she's nevertheless full of passion and pain, joy and raunchiness in her music. This album covers all those emotions set against the background her of well-arranged orchestration and her exceptional skill as a pianist.

Nina is a genre all her own. Her style varies broadly--from blues to jazz to gospel to folk and political music. This album is not a showcase that variety, merely one facet of it. This album has more of a fun feel to it than some of her other recordings--with songs like 'Marriage is for Old Folks' and 'Gimme Some' as well as the child-like 'Beautiful Land.' Nina is certainly no idealist, though, showing her passion and her pain in songs like 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' and 'You've Got to Learn.'

For Nina fans, this album is a nice break away from some of her moodier, darker work. For those just discovering Nina, this album would be an excellent way to ease into acquiring the taste for her music--splashing a little cream into one's black coffee, as it were.

As a dedicated fan of Nina's musical uniqueness, I've found this to be a very pleasant album that's just right for lifting the stresses of day away and losing myself in a little bit of fun.

Screamer and a Shouter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-09

This is THE song, not the whitebread edition, but powerful, raw, bluesy
singing at it's best.

When Screamin' Jay sings ballads, he's got a powerfully good voice, not a
tiny one, but robust and rounded.

This is the archetypical bluesy record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the one to start with Screamin' Jay Hawkins.......2005-09-25

First of all, I would like to notice that it's the reissue of his first album "at home with S.J.H." (originally issued on Epic in 1958) with a different order in the titles and a different cover. Secondly, I think it's the album of reference of his long and heratic carreer. Personally, I was so blowed when I first heard his powerful voice able to sing blues, easy listening or rock. A true artist of music hall in a sense that he is a true character.

Screamin' Jay is a scream............2005-01-23

I don't know where to begin with this album. You could say so much about this guy. For starters, Screamin' Jay was more like three men packed into one. He was a prize fighter, a singer/songwriter and aspiring opera singer. He was also campy, wonderfully eccentric and irresistably soulful.

Most people know him for one of his greatest hits, "I Put a Spell On You." This tune about obsessive love is really like no other song I have ever heard. Screamin' Jay does it best, of course (though, it was remade by the wonderful Nina Simone, as well as other artists). His nickname was, no doubt, a true indication of his style. This man alternates wailing, crooning, and screaming with true singing talent. He alternates feelings of torture with feelings of satisfaction (and, sometimes, it is hard to decide which emotion he is truly trying to convey--maybe both?).

This album is a combination of Jay's original works ("I Put a Spell on You," "Hong Kong," and "Yellow Coat"), and old standards ("I Love Paris," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Ol' Man River," "If You are But a Dream," and "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)"). The combination of scatting, unusual interpretaion and hilarious ad-libbing is truly delivered in a way I have never heard before. Jay definitely has the mojo and the juice to carry this wonderful album. You just have to hear it to believe it.

And what a spell that is.............2000-03-22

Screaming Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell On You" is one of the definitive albums of the bizarre 1960's. This music is as unique as Frank Zappa, in it's own right. The strange delivery of Screaming Jay works wonders with the orchestral sound of the band on songs like Orange Color Sky, and his jibberish yip yapping on Hong Kong are not only hysterical, but funky as well. The way he could include Swing Low Sweet Chariot on this album is beyond anyone's belief. This is one of the great albums of all time- either you will love it or hate it, but you will by no means ever forget it.

Amazon.com essential recording

Nina Simone was ignited by the civil rights movement, and her fed-up tirade "Mississippi Goddam" ("And I mean every word of it!" she testified before a New York crowd) surfaces on In Concert, an arresting 1964 album that also includes a stunningly theatrical version of Weil-Brecht-Blitzstein's "Pirate Jenny." The second portion of this two-fer presents the folk-jazz-soul diva backed by an orchestra. Not all of it works (less is almost always more where Simone arrangements are concerned, and Hal Mooney's are, often as not, too lush or too clamorous), but her dynamic version of "I Put a Spell on You" and the pensiveness she brings to Jacques Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" display the singer's versatility. With the inspired live set that anchors this collection, that's enough. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Who needs Etta, I've got Nina!.......2005-01-29

Nina Simone captures you with her soulful vocals. I highly suggest "Go Limp" for a look at the lighter side of Nina Simone, its hard not to laugh out loud during this song. Nina Simone could sing a cereal box to me and I would be in heaven. Soulful, inspiring, playful. Nina Simone's selections are ecclectic, if you do not like one song keep listening, there is something for everyone, even remixes!!!

One of Nina's very best.......2004-11-14

I must first admit that I am a very big fan of Nina's. That being said this album is a very nice mix of live and studio songs. My absolute favorite song on the CD is "Tomorrow Is My Turn" - for that song alone the album is worth it's bargain price.

Her rich, one of a kind voice and soul-full piano has a beauty and resonance that is unsurpassed to this day. These songs come to life under her voice and are still relevant today.

Pick the album up, you will not be disappointed.

Soul Diva.......2003-04-22

Yesterday I got the news that Nina Simone had passed away; curiously enough I had been listening to some of her discs quite a bit of late. Her discography is extensive and consequently several "2-fer" disc have been released featuring two albums on one disc. This is one of those and features a fine collection of songs and a telling live performance. I say telling because Simone not only conveyed a message in her music but cajoled and incited her audience to feel the passion of her song. Simone was a superb story teller, a fine pianist and just happened to have one of those voices often imitated but never duplicated. Her voice had a shimmering , frolicking vibrancy that comes from living the emotions of her music. Her folk-jazz style was not only unique and provocative it was the music that reflected the times of the civil rights era in America. Her anti- racism anthems abound on the live performance, including "Old Jim Crow" which she co-penned and the scorching, seething "Mississippi Goddam" which she wrote. Although "Mississippi Goddam"is a scathing outcry of American injustice there is a jubilant feeling to the song. It is reminiscent of a lively spiritual or as she says"a show tune but the show hasn't been written for it yet." Although these songs of protest are powerful , for my money her real strength was in her bluesy-jazzy vocals like "I Put a Spell on You" and her signature song, which also happened to be her first "hit" in 1959, "I Loves You, Porgy." The second part of the disc has Simone doing more of her scat, jazz singing, even doing three French(where she eventually died) songs, including"Ne Me Quitte Pas"that features a soft, nasal Simone backed by a suttle orchestra. At other times the orchestra is too dominant and Simone becomes just another instrument in the band; she deserved first chair dominance . The several show tune type songs don't really work for me but is saved by songs like "Feeling Good" that some newbie audiences might recognize as sampled bits are featured on a recent Thievery Conspiracy mix. All in all there are enough great songs to make this budget priced disc worth your buying. Recommended for fans of fantastic, jazz female vocals that also has spirited civil rights, folksy, songs and even some light show tunes.

Nina at her best!.......2002-12-20

This is my favorite collection of Nina Simone. "In Concert" is a rare treat because it captures Nina in full force, playfully chiding her audience as she sings some of her most socially active songs like "Mississippi Goddam" and "Pirate Jenny." "I Put a Spell on You" offers up such pearls as "Blues on Purpose," which showcases Nina on piano. She is such a great storyteller, and this concert is Nina at her best.

Nina Charms & Shines.......2000-08-31

Nina really shines on this two-fer (2 albums compiled onto 1 CD), especially the concert one. Hear her joke, preen, charm and stimulate the audience thru her banter and mostly, her invigorating songs and singing. She really lets go on some of these songs during her concert, especially "Mississippi Goddam" and "Old Jim Crow", her "protest" songs against racism and social inequality. Considering these songs were done before the racial movement in late 60s, Nina was really ahead of her time. But it was never Nina's intention to fit in the mold, her music is a perfect example and may not be for everyone. But if you like to be stimulated by thought and emotions, then Nina Simone and her music is for you. The studio album is almost as good and Nina transcends the confines of the lame orchestrations, especially on "I Put A Spell on You", her sizzling version of the famous Screamin' Jay Hawkins song about an unfaithful lover.
