Recorded between 1964 & 1966. Includes liner notes by Ashley Kahn.
FOUR WOMEN was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.
Although Nina Simone's years at RCA have their passionate devotees, most fans believe her mid-'60s tenure at Philips was the pinnacle of her career. Indeed, her first album for the label, 1964's still-startling NINA SIMONE IN CONCERT, is probably Simone's single finest album of all time, introducing such masterpieces as her chilling reinterpretation of Kurt Weill's "Pirate Jenny" and the anti-segregation broadside "Mississippi Goddam," which she delivers with absolutely brutal humor. The six studio albums that followed are all included in full, and each of them continues Simone's no-boundaries musical worldview (one album was called BROADWAY-BLUES-BALLADS, and she cut the occasional pop song, like her dramatic remake of the Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"), her increasingly socio-political choices of material, and above all, her absolute mastery of the jazz vocal form. Beautifully packaged and extensively annotated, this four-disc set is a perfect overview of some of the '60s' finest and most uncompromising vocal jazz.
This beautiful, 4-CD set takes all seven albums that Nina Simone recorded for Philips - Broadway/Blues/Ballads, I Put A Spell On You, Pastel Blues, Let It All Out, Wild Is The Wind and the classics Nina Simone in Concert and High Priestess of Soul - and packages them with a 56-page booklet containing rare photos and detailed liner notes to form a tremendous tribute to one of the great singers and personalities of our time. The discs are housed in sleeves within the hardback book, which is housed in a 'snakeskin' slipcase. Verve Records. 2003.
