Our Take

NINA SIMONE At Town Hall is a tantalizing concoction of soul-stirring vocals, impassioned piano riffs, and a touch of that distinctive Nina Simone sass. The album captures Simone's live performance at New York City's Town Hall in 1959, showcasing her unparalleled talent and magnetic stage presence.

From the moment Simone opens her mouth to sing, you can feel the electricity in the room. Her voice is like a force of nature, effortlessly capturing the highs and lows of human emotion with each note. Whether she's belting out a heart-wrenching ballad or delivering a scathing political commentary, Simone's voice is a tour de force that demands to be heard.

The real magic of this album lies in the live setting, where Simone's energy and charisma shine through. Her banter with the audience is equal parts charming and hilarious, giving the listener a glimpse into the woman behind the music. And when she sits down at the piano, it's like watching a master craftsman at work, effortlessly weaving together melody and emotion.

NINA SIMONE At Town Hall is a must-listen for any fan of jazz, soul, or just good music in general. It's a timeless performance from a true legend, and serves as a reminder of why Nina Simone will always be one of the greats. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Nina take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
