I was just introduced to nina simone. Well, not truly introduced, i always knew who she was, but i never actually knew that she is the pianist as well. She most definitively kicks ass. majorly. She is a great person in art.
In youtube there are comments, as we know. One of them said something like - I love Nina Simone, she is a true capacity and a wonderful artist. Wonder if artist nowadays considers her level of skills? compared to the crap we're presented with it's a huge difference. (or something like that - this is a blog, not a thesis)
It's for sure implied that todays artists are not that good, (and most of the time they aren't that good at all - she was extraordinary)
So this thought fell into my head, watching her perform, she is splendid, but she is not the most charismatic artist in terms of being outgoing. She's working with the audience, but in a way that it's impossible to decide weather she enjoys having the audience there or if she'd rather be by herself.
