You get two great oldies in one disc and nothing sounds finer than hearing some of these classics on CD for once. Another great reason is simply for the fact that the "live" performance of the track 'Go Limp' is simply comical. Nina does her thing and snips in a joke or two here and there. There is one point were she even states; "...haha, I forgot the next line...", all the while the musicians are playing along without a care in the world. I actually laughed out loud when I first heard this. A great addition to any fan of jazz and Nina Simone.

  • The Role of Radicalism in African-American Protest Music
    “WE’D RATHER DIE ON OUR FEET THAN BE LIVIN’ ON OUR KNEES” THE ROLE OF RADICALISM IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PROTEST MUSIC, 1960 – 1990: A CASE STUDY AND LYRICAL ANALYSIS Master’s Thesis in North American Studies Leiden University By Roos Fransen 1747045 10 June 2018 Supervisor: Dr. S.A. Polak Second reader: Dr. M.L. de Vries Contents Introduction 3 Chapter 1: Nina Simone and calling out racism 12 Chapter 2: James Brown, black emancipation and self-pride 27 Chapter 3: Public Enemy, black militancy and distrust of government and 40 media Conclusion 52 Works cited 56 2 Introduction The social importance of African-American music originates in the arrival of African slaves on the North American continent. The captured Africans transported to the British colonial area that would later become the United States came from a variety of ethnic groups with a long history of distinct and cultivated musical traditions. New musical forms came into existence, influenced by Christianity, yet strongly maintaining African cultural traditions. One of the most widespread early musical forms among enslaved Africans was the spiritual. Combining Christian hymns and African rhythms, spirituals became a distinctly African- American response to conditions on the plantations slaves were forced to work1. They expressed the slaves’ longing for spiritual and physical freedom, for safety from harm and evil, and for relief from the hardships of slavery. Many enslaved people were touched by the metaphorical language of the Bible, identifying for example with the oppressed Israelites of the Old Testament, as this spiritual Go Down Moses illustrates: Go down, Moses Way down in Egypt's land Tell old Pharaoh Let my people go2 The spiritual is inspired by Exodus 8:1, a verse in the Old Testament.

Claridad: Leaders and Players Leaders and Players: The Role of Jazz Artists as Civil Rights Activists Jonathan Claridad The 1960s was a time for massive cultural movement, and a notable aspect of this period was the relationship between music and the political voices of the time. One such relationship was in part due to the tensions over civil rights rising to a head, bridging the political desires of African Americans to much of the music produced at the time, particularly in jazz. Even beyond simple civil rights advocacy, the music and writings of jazz artists were voices of challenge to much of the status quo. From Max Roach’s condemnation of America’s checkered past to Nina Simone’s reclamation of both black and female artisanship, jazz musicians were at the forefront of expressing the suffering and the injustice that permeated the lives of African Americans.

  • Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth Within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present)
    THE DISCOURSE OF THE DIVINE: RADICAL TRADITIONS OF BLACK FEMINISM, MUSICKING, AND MYTH WITHIN THE BLACK PUBLIC SPHERE (CIVIL RIGHTS TO THE PRESENT) by Issac Martel Carter A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2015 Copyright 2015 by Issac Martel Carter ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express sincere gratitude to my family and friends, my committee, and the Orisha, griots, and ancestors who have guided me throughout this life. I am blessed and highly favored. iv ABSTRACT Author: Issac Martel Carter Title: The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Derrick White Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The Discourse of the Divine: Radical Traditions of Black Feminism, Musicking, and Myth within the Black Public Sphere (Civil Rights to the Present) is an exploration of the historical precursors and the contemporary developments of Black feminism in America, via Black female musical production and West and Central African cosmology. Historical continuity and consciousness of African spirituality within the development of Black feminism are analyzed alongside the musical practices of two Black female musicians, Nina Simone and Me’shell Ndegéocello. Simone and Ndegéocello, The High Priestess of Soul and the Mother of Neo-Soul, respectively, distend the commodified confines of Black music and identity by challenging the established norms of music and knowledge production.

  • Jazz Collection: Nina Simone (W)
    Jazz Collection: Nina Simone (W) Dienstag, 16. Juli 2013, 21.00 - 23.00 Uhr Ein Parfum-Werbespot verhalf ihr 1987 zum Comeback, mit dem Song «My Baby Just Cares For Me». Doch Nina Simone war weit mehr als eine One-Song-Frau. Als Komponistin, Sängerin und Pianistin hat sie eine ganze Generation geprägt. Gast ist die Sängerin Christina Jaccard - sie bekennt sich als Fan. Geboren am 21. Februar 1933 als Eunice Kathleen Waymon in North Carolina, nahm sie später aus Verehrung für die Schauspielerin Simone Signoret den Künstlernamen Nina Simone an. Ausgebildet an der Julliard School, strebte die begabte Pianistin ursprünglich eine klassische Karriere an, die ihr aber verwehrt blieb. Als sängerische Autodidaktin landete Nina Simone 1958 mit «I Loves You Porgy» ihren ersten Hit. Der Start zu einer Plattenkarriere, die Ende der 1970er Jahre abflaute und erst mit dem Comeback 1987 wieder an Schwung gewann. Im Verlauf ihrer Karriere engagierte sich Nina Simone stark für die Bürgerrechtsbewegung in den USA. Sie lebte zeitweise auf Barbados und in Liberia, wählte 1992 Südfrankreich als Wohnsitz, wo sie 2003 starb. Zu ihrem Begräbnis kamen unter anderen Miriam Makeba und Patti Labelle, und Elton John schickte Blumen. Die Gospel- und Bluessängerin Christina Jaccard würdigt Nina Simone als Gast von Andreas Müller- Crepon.

  • This Course Approaches the History of the Civil Rights and Black Power Eras Through Culture, Especially Literature, Music, Film, and Television
    Professor Ruth Feldstein Email: [email protected] Conklin 308 Phone: 973-353-3884 Office Hours: Tuesday, 12-1 and by appointment HONORS U.S. HISTORY Cultures of the Civil Rights Movement 21:512:391 Fall 2017 Class Location: HAH-322 Class Meeting Time: Tuesday 2:30-5:20 Summary Welcome to this Honors U.S. History seminar! This course approaches the history of the civil rights and Black Power eras through culture, especially literature, music, film, and television. Many of us may have learned about black freedom struggles in the post-WW II era with a focus on political and legislative accomplishments—the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, the mid-1960s passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, for example—and with a focus on mostly male leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. or Malcolm X. By contrast, in this seminar, we will explore the history of black activism with a focus on cultural productions. Our starting point is that culture— theater, music, films, and television-- were not mere background to the ‘real’ politics of the movement, but instead, were crucial expressions of it. Indeed, by expressing black freedom in imaginative realms, writers, musicians, actors, filmmakers, and other artists helped to forge the civil rights and Black Power movements. The format of the course will be a combination of lecture, discussion, and smaller group activities. We will often read, watch, listen to, and discuss together primary sources, including films, television shows, and music. Because of the central role discussion will play, it is essential that you complete the required reading and/or the required viewing and listening by the date indicated on the syllabus.

The Protest Song: Bridge Leadership, Sonic Innovation, And The Long Civil Rights Movement Abstract This dissertation tells a new story of the American Civil Rights Movement through the woman’s singing voice. The dissertation explores what is possible when political music is disentangled from patriarchal narratives of leadership and artistic genius. “The Protest Song” contends that women across the color line were pioneering new types of lyrical expressions, musical aesthetics, and performance practices that sought to articulate feminist identities inside the long black freedom movement, harnessing the power of music to push for a broader and simultaneous liberation from racial and gendered oppression.
