The Newport Jazz Festival had always brought the best out of Nina Simone. On July 2, 1966 the audience was

treated to the full range of her artistry – from the opener, a breathtaking version of “You’ve Got To Learn” to a

swinging take on “Mississippi Goddam.” After the standing ovation, her fans were rewarded with the show-

stopping encore, “Music For Lovers.” This previously unreleased recording makes it clear why hearing Nina

Simone in concert was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Indie Exclusive Bone LP.
