This DVD is included in the Jazz Icons 3: Boxed Set (7 DVDs)

Features two incredible concerts from 1965 and 1968 showcasing the multi-faceted 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."

Extended Article

Jazz Icons™ is an ongoing DVD series featuring full-length concerts and in-studio performances by the greatest legends of jazz, filmed all over the world from the 1950s through 1970s. Beautifully transferred from the original masters, none of these concerts has ever been officially released on home video, and in many cases, the material was never broadcast. Each DVD is produced with the full support and cooperation of the artists or their estates.

Quotes

"The release of Jazz Icons™ is like the unearthing of a musical time capsule — an audio-visual treasure trove of the music that changed the world. From Big Band and Bebop to Dixieland and Cool, it's all here and it all swings. These jazz legends, from Dizzy and Count to Louis and Ella, are the Bachs and Beethovens of our generation. From an educational standpoint this series is a gift to our culture. I'm honored to be a featured part of it, but I'm more thrilled just to sit down and watch it with my grandkids." —Quincy Jones
