Groooovy!

Anyone knows where it comes from?

Thanks for pointing this out, it's a great version.

Fantastic! Shows Pat Butcher up for the pathetic amateur she is.

A bit of Google work suggests that this is from the Harlem Festival 1969 and that the footage is available on http://www.amazon.com/Soul-Nina-Sim...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1203084966&sr=8-1

For bargain priced live Nina audio http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000063JU7/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21 is worth many times its cost.

Quite so, Paul. Times are good for the cheapskate Simone admirer.

Might I also suggest looking at Four Women: The Nina Simone Philips Recordings which comprises all seven albums she did for Philips now on a lovingly remastered four disc Verve set. In the Amazon Marketplace you can get this for an astonishing £12.34. I was lucky enough to get this when it first came out with a fancy version that came in an orange leatherette book with a pearlised snakeskin effect slipcase. Tasty!

Paul,

Thanks for the recommendation of the CDx2. I just bought it and I am listening to it right now (track #3, "Isn't It A Pity").

What two records?

 

[sideshowbob]

It's a twofer. Oh, OK, a threefer.

PS- From your jazzheads thread, I received Charlie Parker today (this and this).

I'm going to play some Bird now, good idea.
