“Goddess of Piano” and “High Priestess of Soul”

“This is a show not only for fans of Nina Simone’s music but 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 at the world that are the blues.” - Weekend Notes
