  • Description

    Deluxe presentation with comprehensive 20-page booklet + 7 bonus tracks. Includes new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

    "The breath-taking originality of the second half of the show is what makes this album great. Opening with Oscar Brown, Jr.'s "Brown Baby" and then Michael Olatunji's "Zungo" and delivering a long version of another traditional song "Children, Go Where I Send You", Simone makes a profound stand on the black musical tradition, drawing on her deep reading in Frantz Fanon's autotheory and Léopold Senghor's ideas on négritude to create a body of work that transcends jazz styles and critical pigeonholes. She was unique, but only because she drew on multitudes." - Penguin Guide To Jazz
