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