Search - Nina Simone, Don Alias :: Very Rare Evening

"It?s her first LP in years, but was taped back in 1969 in Europe with a confident, impressive organ and rhythm section backup band. Simone is an acquired taste. But, for those who appreciate her singing, these eight tracks will prove welcome." - BILLBOARD Never released on CD and out print for decades, this is one of Simone?s rarest recordings and a true collector?s item! Nina Simone was a star, performing repertoire ranging from gospel music to African music, from blues to Ellington songs, from classical music to folk songs of diverse origin. A protest singer, jazz singer, pianist, arranger and composer, Nina Simone is a great artist who defies easy classification. Her biography can be found in jazz, rock, pop, black and soul literature. Her style and her hits provided many singers with material for hits of their own! Live recording, Germany, 1969.
