To call Nina Simone a jazz singer is to neglect the depth and range of her artistry. A classical pianist, folk singer, protest singer, and songwriter, her arrangements are harmonically rich, varied, and rhythmically experimental, while her voice can go from lounge singer-smooth to raw and exposed in the space of a verse.The 1961 Colpix album Forbidden Fruit was The High Priestess of Soul's second for the label and it includes a rendition of Oscar Brown's "Rags and Old Iron" as well as a tango version of "Just Say I Love Him" among others. The release was produced by Cal Lampley and features accompaniment by Al Schackman (guitar), Bob Hamilton (drums) and Chris White (bass).Although no session information exists to confirm this, Schackman, Hamilton, and White were likely accompanying Nina when she recorded the 11 songs that comprise Sides 3 and 4, seven of which are from the small archive of previously unreleased tracks left in the Colpix vaults, and four of which were included on Nina's final release for the label, 1963's Nina Simone with Strings.
