Nina Simone: A Musical Life (expired event)

The music of a consummate storyteller with remarkable talent, and one of the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century.

South Australia’s own Bonnie Lee Galea and her JAZZ in CHEEK Quartet pay homage to the exceptional Nina Simone.

This mesmerising tribute to the “Goddess of Piano” and “High Priestess of Soul” will take you on a journey through her music and life that blended jazz, gospel, blues, folk, pop and classical music. Nina left an indelible mark on the world, with her music and style influencing many great artists who covered her songs including David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Michael Bublé and others.

Now Bonnie and her band bring to the stage many of Nina’s brilliant masterpieces including ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’, ‘Sinnerman’, ‘Four Women’ & her biggest hit ‘My Baby Just Cares for Me’. Don’t miss this show about the one and only Nina Simone, that will leave you ‘Feelin’ Good’!

“…for any soul that is moved by the intensity and passion that drives soul music, the fun, the funkiness that is jazz and the raunchy, steamy rage [of] the blues.” — Weekend Notes
