The presentation moves through four aspects of Ms. Simone’s songbook: Quest, Passion, Fury and Hope. Vocalist Carol Riddick and bassist Gerald Veasley lead an ensemble that re-imagines Nina Simone’s work with inventive energy. The Ensemble This is a musical conversation between two seasoned artists: an accomplished jazz musician, Veasley and a fiery soul singer, Riddick. The group is rounded out by Aaron Graves, a keyboardist who served as Little Jimmy Scott's musical director and Tim Hutson, a standout musician among the new wave of drummers.
