Video Description
Jazz Icons: Nina Simone features two incredible concerts from 1965 and 1968 showcasing the multifaceted diva in all her glory. Simone shines as a jazz vocalist extraordinaire on "Tomorrow Is My Turn," as a definitive folk interpreter on Bob Dylan's "The Ballad Of Hollis Brown" and as a passionate civil rights activist on both the epic "Four Women" and the scorching "Mississippi Goddam." This DVD is a must for Nina Simone fans as she displays all of the qualities that made her both a supremely gifted jazz singer and pianist as well as the "High Priestess of Soul." This release is one of seven new titles in the third series of Jazz Icons DVDs, an ongoing series (now at 23 titles!) featuring full-length concerts and in-studio performances by the greatest legends in jazz captured in their prime.
