Nina Simone - At Newport 1960

LIMITED EDITION 180g AUDIOPHILE PRESSING ON VIRGIN VINYL - THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS. When this album was recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1960, Nina Simone had just had her first Top 20 hit with I Loves You, Porgy, but the Porgy found here is actually a continuation of Gershwin's original version of the story.

Other highlights include Flo Me La, an African work chant, and Little Liza Jane, an African American folk song. A truly great live performance from one of the most original voices in 20th century music.
