The Nina Simone Escapade

27-05-2010

Colettequartet are celebrating the passionate contribution of Nina Simone to music with a selection of her well known songs and stories that will give you insight into the woman and her music.  You'll be treated to an evening of energy, truth and a chance to get involved in creating the music!

As one of the most powerful voices of the last century, Nina Simone inspired millions and confused critics who tried to categorise her. She brought together music from different cultural backgrounds - jazz, soul, protest songs, blues, folk, light theatre and mixed this with her personal background as a child prodigy classical pianist.

Enjoy the musical force of Colette and her band.  Colette's voice moves effortlessly between sweet and sensual, and powerful and gritty. "Colette Henry is a fine new Jazz singer with crystal clear delivery. One to watch."  Dermot Rogers, Dublin City FM

Johnny Taylor (Piano) Andrew Csibi, (Double Bass) and Dominic Mullan (Drummer) create musical unity and powerful atmosphere that brings a freshness to the well-known Nina Simone numbers.

A real treat of an evening, best experienced live.
