While there's some good music on this 73-minute CD, it could in no qualify as the essential Nina Simone. It's a patchy quilt of songs from the 1950s to the 1980s, reaching as far back as late-'50s sessions from early in her career, and stretching through several subsequent decades, including two songs from a 1985 album with clumsy glossy modern production, and seven songs from her In Concert album thrown in along the way.
That's not, incidentally, her 1964 Philips In Concert album, but an identically titled release that's obviously from much later, since there are references to Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan inserted into one of the songs. Other than that pair of 1985 tracks, the music is good, and sometimes superb, as on her version of "Mood Indigo." However, if you like Simone enough to hear these specific performances, it's far more coherent to collect the complete albums and sessions from which they were selected. If you want an anthology, there are much better ones out there, even if those collections usually focus on just one chronological phase of her long discography. Although there are liner notes by noted author Lucy O'Brien, little is supplied in the way of specific dates and original release information. ~ AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
