Sing the Truth - The Music of Nina Simone starring Dianne
Reeves, Simone & Lizz Wright & the original Nina Simone
Band (US)
Sing the Truth is a tribute to the musical heritage of one of the
greatest jazz divas of our time, Nina Simone. She died in 2003 at
the age of 71. The tribute to her name that was organized a year
later became a remarkable project that was only performed in a few
places. Three great jazz vocalists, Dianne Reeves, Lizz Wright and
Nina's daughter Simone, will pay homage to her work, together with
the original Nina Simone Band. The orchestra is led by Al Shackman,
the band leader who accompanied Nina for 41 years. Special guest
will be Bob Dorough on piano. The repertoire will stretch from Ne
Me Quitte Pas to Four Women. Especially that last song will impart
in four couplets the impressive artistic scope of Nina Simone.
