Product Description

NINA SIMONEs story from the late sixties to the nineties can be told through her legendary performances in Montreux. Taking to the Montreux stage for the first time on 16 June 1968 for the festivals second edition, Simone built a lasting relationship with Montreux Jazz Festival and its Creator and Founder Claude Nobs, which uniqueness, trust and electricity can be clearly felt on the recordings. Simones multi-faceted and radical story is laid bare on NINA SIMONE: THE MONTREUX YEARS. From Ninas glorious and emotional 1968 performance to her fiery and unpredictable concert in 1976, one of the festivals most remarkable performances ever witnessed, the collection includes recordings from all of her five legendary Montreux concerts 1968, 1976, 1981, 1987 and 1990.
