Nina Simone in Concert

Compiled from three performances at Carnegie Hall in early 1964, this album marks Nina Simone's definitive, unapologetic transition into the voice of the Civil Rights Movement. The set famously concludes with the devastating debut of 'Mississippi Goddam', a furious response to racist violence delivered with biting, cabaret-style theatricality. It remains a historical turning point where Simone entirely weaponized her immense classical and jazz talents for political action.
