Just saw him at the Newport Jazz Festival this weekend for the first time. An excellent set especially given he's 84. I didn't expect it. He's still blowing well like Billy Harper. It's my impression he doesn't get a lot of publicity or attention. Why not? His set at Newport got a warranted standing ovation. What am I missing?

Yea I saw this in Itunes and am eagerly looking forward to it.

I'm listening to it for the first time now... and am loving it... I like this WAY better than the live Love Supreme Seattle release a few years ago. I know it's a completely different set list but the sound quality seems much better. Very happy with this. I wish there was more...

My copy is in still transit... Looking forward to this especially because of the set list. It really sucks that a lot of those Newport 60's records had short sets (in terms of length).

The sale is still going on today after Prime Day.. I might have to grab this one at this price...

Sounds like basically... there's not a lot interest in this boxed set here... due to most of us having the CDs...?

Hi.. I'm trying to find one of two things. Either the best box set of Nina Simone or some good live CDs. I came across a few versions/references to the Phillips Years set. One seems to be a 7CD set from Verve in 2016 and the other a 4CD set from 2003 Four Women. Which is the better set? What's the difference? Sound qualities? thanks.

I only have one of these cds. I have to look at the discography more... especially who the key players are. It's the maybe bucket.

I listened to this yesterday. Outstanding. I have no idea how many times McCoy performed there but they could have easily turned this into a multi-disc set. The odd thing is I think it clocks in at 84 minutes. I'm inclined to get the Modern Jazz Quartet one as well.

Thanks... that helps.. Kinda shady... to me...:)

Does anybody know anything about this? Is Sound of Yesteryear a legit label that pays royalties to the family or this European public domain stuff? Or just a ripoff? I've seen a lot by that label but know nothing about them. Thanks. https://www.importcds.com/monitor-blues/5019317022891

I'm inclined to grab this one but it seemed to me like the sample track sounds like they're in a hallway...

I'm getting the sense this has not been released before. Is this blurb accurate? Anybody got any opinions on it? I'm inclined to get it since Importcds does have a cd version not just the vinyl. https://elusivedisc.com/nina-simone-youve-got-to-learn-lp/ https://www.importcds.com/nina-simone-youve-got-to-learn/602455644633

So does anyone have a link to the site it' selling on?

I agree with all of you in that they should have released all at once, assuming there's more. The Michel Petrucciani that was just released is excellent but I also wish that was a multi-cd set.

I'm just curious about what you guys think. What's the best book on Nat? Thanks.

Wtf? Who is this? IS that a bass clarinet?

I miss him. I wish Mosaic had a bunch of unreleased live stuff from him.

Thanks... I'm totally on the fence with this one... Importcds has the cd set on sale for slightly less than $60.

Personally, I've wanted and been lobbying for a Betty Carter set for years. I would also LOVE a Geri Allen set... The stuff she did with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian was excellent. I recently came across an "Unissued Tracks" set from one of their Village Vanguard dates... https://diwproducts.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-the-village-vanguard-unissued-tracks

I would recommend a different method. Assuming you have your library organized the way you want it (on your Windows PC)... in Itunes, go to File and Import. It will ask you for a destination (e.g., where is the library you're moving it from) and just let it do its thing. How extensive is your library? As I mentioned previously I would screenshot it before your import so you know exactly what you have.

I did before it came out and they said they have no plans for CD.

I tolerated the Ernie Andrews piece but that was the downside.

Ultra Studio is overkill in my opinion. Even a lot of the tech reviewers I trust on Youtube are like... "I will never use all the power in this thing..." not to mention the price... I have the Mac Studio base model and it's more than enough....
