Known as the High Priestess of Soul, the iconic Nina Simone has been cited as a musical influence by everyone from Aretha to Adele, Beyonce to Bowie. Her singular style encompassed jazz, blues, folk, R&B, gospel, pop and even classical, and she's famed for her signature versions of George Gershwin's "I Loves You, Porgy," "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "I Put a Spell on You." Simone has left this world, but you can experience the magic of her live shows when two performing greats combine forces on International Jazz Day for The Music of Nina Simone. As notorious for her impassioned, spine-tingling vibrato as she is for her show-stealing performance at Jay-Z's 1999 MTV Unplugged concert with The Roots, Jaguar Wright is the quintessential soul maven. She'll perform numbers made famous by Simone at Ardmore Music Hall alongside bassist Gerald Veasley. A Philly native, Veasley cut his teeth performing alongside a Who's Who of musicians, including Joe Zawinul, Grover Washington Jr., Teddy Pendergrass and Dianne Reeves. Wright and Veasley are ready to re-create that classic Simone sound.
