>Nina Simone said this
Fuck her. I could understand this quote if it was uttered by Mingus, but Nina is utter pop trash.
>Jazz is a white term to define black people
Not true.
>My music is black classical music.
Again not true.

Nina Simone said this so the merit of this quote goes way the fuck down
>"We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, 'Shut them cunts up!' And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. The bands said, 'That's the Sons of Mumford' or something. 'They're number five in charts!' I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers."

It's pop music mate, nothing more.

Her studio albums were pop. If you watch her live at montreux she shows her classical routes and her live performances were known for improvisation

>and her live performances were known for improvisation
Wich is not what classical piano virtuosos do.
I've heard her playing piano, and her technique is sloppy at best. She could have never made it in the classical world.

I'm not comparing her to classical music with her improvisation, I'm just trying to dispute you calling her 'pop trash'
