Yeah, I like Nina Simone too, though I would've posted Strange Fruit as my fave.

My rec today is the opposite of Muddy Water's rough blues singing - it really follows on more from grindy's post of Aziza M.Z., which is really beautiful. Regina Carter has made some mainstream and collaborative jazz albums, but much more interesting imo are two more recent albums; the charming Reverse Thread (2010) in which she explores her African heritage in twelve faultless tracks, of which this is an example:



Her next album, Southern Comfort came out in 2014, and she'll tell you about it herself if you listen to the two tracks here. Unfortunately, I can't find much of this album on the internet, so any help would be appreciated.
