To Be Free

Unter all den großen Sängerinnen der 50er- und 60er-Jahre war Nina Simone vielleicht am schwersten zu fassen. Irgendwo zwischen Jazz, Soul, Gospel, Blues und zeitgenössischem Pop bahnte sich die Tochter einer Methodistenpredigerin ihren Weg, der für schwarze Künstler da noch überaus steinig war. "To Be Free - The Nina Simone Story" ist ein höchst selektiver, subjektiver, dennoch ungeheuer spannender Leitfaden durch das etwas zerfaserte Werk der vielseitigen Sängerin. Drei CDs, umfangreich bebildert, kommentiert und formschön verpackt, versammeln wichtige Wegmarken, bislang unveröffentlichte Raritäten und essenzielle Live-Mitschnitte der Jahre 1957 bis 1993. ~ Jens Szameit (teleschau) aufklappen »
