About
Nina Simone was busy between 1964 and 1967. She released 10 albums—a mix of live and studio—during those year, <i>Wild Is the Wind</i> among them. It's exceptional, not least because it was built from songs left over from previous sessions; its odds-and-ends quality turns out to be a strength. Horace Ott and Simone herself split the arrangement. Ott’s charts are more traditional, spanning the tough, charging R&B of “I Love Your Lovin’ Way,” the jazzy, sophisticated pop of “Break Down And Let It All Out,” and the heavily orchestrated ballad “What More Can I Say?” The tunes give Simone very different settings for her voice, and she makes the most of every opportunity, her phrasing moving from sassy to heartsick to forceful. .
