Notes
Nina Simone was one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation,
and also one of the most eclectic. Simone was a singer, pianist, and
songwriter who bent genres to her will rather than allowing herself
to be confined by their boundaries; her work swung back and forth
between jazz, blues, soul, classical, R&B, pop, gospel, and world
music, with passion, emotional honesty, and a strong grasp of
technique as the constants of her musical career.
There's no question that Simone is richly deserving of a three-CD
(plus one DVD), 51-song box set such as "To Be Free". From the late
'50s until her death, she was one of the great unclassifiable pop
singers of the 20th century, and if her voluminous recording career
was erratic, the first 15 years at any rate had many highlights. Any
complaint about this particular package has more to do with the
balance of eras represented than the quality of the contents, which
is generally very good. If one is to criticize, however, it's that
it does seem heavily weighted toward her 1967-1973 recordings for
RCA, which take up about two-thirds of the three audio discs.
Perhaps that's because it's on the RCA/Legacy label, but certainly a
good case could be made that her pre-1967 recordings for a variety
of other companies (most often Philips) were worthy of greater
representation. To focus on the positives, however, most of disc one
does include strong pre-RCA tracks from the first decade of her
recording career, including some of her best-known classics of the
time, like "My Baby Just Cares For Me", "Don't Let Me Be
Misunderstood", "See-Line Woman", "I Put A Spell On You," and "Four
Women". While the RCA era arguably saw her move too much into
pop-oriented production on occasion and too many covers of pop/rock
hits, the selections from that era are chosen with intelligence,
including a good number of live tracks.
The two post-1973 cuts - one from 1978 and one from her final proper
album, 1993's "A Single Woman" - seem like afterthoughts to ensure
that most of her career was covered in some way, but that's
justifiable considering that the last three decades of her life saw
little in the way of noteworthy recordings. Though there's not much
in the way of rarities, the set also does contain half a dozen
previously unreleased live tracks of merit; four songs from the
hard-to-find album "A Very Rare Evening", recorded live in Germany
in April 1969; and a couple (a live cover of Leonard Cohen's
'Suzanne' and an alternate version of 'Ain't Got No I Got Life')
that make their first US appearance.
The most tantalizing item for serious Simone fans is the DVD of a
1970 television special, though it turns out to be a little less
exciting than one might have hoped. Lasting just 23 minutes, it
intersperses scenes of her recording in the studio and performing
on-stage (most of the songs being fragments, highlighted by a
complete live version of 'Go To Hell') with interview snippets in
which Simone offers basic comments on the rewards and difficulties
of being a creative musician.
Still, in all this is a very good box set illustrating Simone's
facility at jumping between and blending numerous genres, including
soul, pop, rock, jazz, Broadway, classical, and even (on the
previously unissued 1973 live performance 'Nina') world fusion music
of sorts with backing by sitar and kalimba. Just don't necessarily
take it as a summation of all her greatest work, with much more from
the pre-1967 period in particular thankfully available to
investigate on other CDs.
