Description
A held breath before the bass slips in on Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair tells you this isn’t just a live set; it’s a room under her command. Nina Simone At Town Hall captures 1959 Simone shaping silence, piano, and a simmering trio into drama. The Other Woman smolders without showboating, every chord a nudge, while You Can Have Him stretches into a devastating confession.
Cut to an LP that finally gives the performance room: space opens up around her left-hand figures and the low end sits deeper, so the vocal overtones ride clear. File it beside Billie Holiday, though Simone’s pianist-composer control makes the dynamics more sculpted. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Nina Simone records online here without the hunt. Standouts aside, the set flows like a night out, unhurried, unsentimental, exacting. Jacket art reproductions are crisp and do the mid-century typography justice. Still feels intimate enough for a late Tuesday tidy or a quiet nightcap.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
