The Newport Jazz Festival had always brought the best out in Nina Simone. When she took to that famous stage on July 2, 1966, the audience was treated to the full range of her artistry-from the opener, a breath-taking version of 'You've Got To Learn' to an electrifying performance of her signature protest anthem 'Mississippi Goddam'. Unwilling to let her leave the stage, and after sustained applause, her fans were rewarded with the show-stopping encore, 'Music For Lovers'. This previously-unknown and unreleased recording showcasing Nina's exceptional performance makes it clear why hearing Nina Simone in concert was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
