Recorded at Town Hall, New York, September 12, 1959.
Original sessions produced by Jack Gold and Bob Blake.
#B6 is a Bonus Track: Same personnel, New York, December 1957.
Originally Issued As Nina Simone - Nina Simone At Town Hall (Coolpix Records SCP-409).
"One of Nina Simone's finest recordings, this LP features the unique singer/pianist with supportive work from bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert "Toothie" Heath. From the start of her career, Nina Simone carved out her own unique niche, meshing together her classical piano technique with folk singing, civil rights protest lyrics and jazz. All of those elements are in evidence on this highly recommended set."
