  3. Vinson Valega says Great post! Thanks for those links, too. I'm going to post about this at my "MUSIC":http://www.cslproductions.com/music/talk/dialogue.shtml. blog, too. Nina Simone is very important in the jazz and blues world, and it's nice to see this new anthology come out, only shortly since her passing.
