Nina Simone at Town Hall

Produced by Jack Gold and Bob Blake, the album found Nina working with bassist Jimmy Bond and drummer Albert Tootie Heath (brother of saxophonist Jimmy and bass player Percy), two musicians who had also been featured on her auspicious debut album for Bethlehem Records. A compelling showcase for an artist who had begun building a loyal, steadfast following, 'Nina Simone At Town Hall' has often been cited - with good reason - as a true classic within a legacy of recorded works that would ultimately span some thirty-five years.
