Little Girl Blue was Nina Simone's first studio recording and features her in an intimate trio setting with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath.
Many of the tracks would become true classics, among them her perennial version of 'My Baby Just Cares For Me'. The album introduced Nina not only as a brilliant singer, but also as a unique jazz pianist. Simone's signature tune, 'I Loves You, Porgy', appears here in her first studio version.
AllMusic reviewer Thom Jurek gave the album four out of five stars, stating that "Little Girl Blue showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her up-tempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant." * Bonus track. 'African Mailman' from the same sessions, but not included on the original LP.
