 Kim Nalley sings Billie Holiday
Of course, the marvelous Miss Nalley is no stranger to the songs and
personna of the great Billie Holiday. Her fans have frequently enjoyed
her performances channeling Holiday in her award winning show “Ladies
Sing the Blues.” That’s in addition to Nalley’s recent series of
triumphant concert tributes to the great Nina Simone, and her many
shows in San Francisco and around the world, treating audiences to her
own sweet and sassy personna and astounding talents.
"Ever have that feeling that you're sitting in on something special - a
music, a singer, a style that makes you feel a certain wistful
reminiscence for this same night to begin all over again, even though
it's barely begun? That is the effect of a Kim Nalley performance."
-Jean Bartlett, Pacifica Tribune
Kim Nalley combines a lithe, beautiful sound and compelling sense of
swing with just enough old-school charm to create an instant and
genuine rapport with her audience.
Nalley topped the success of her 2003 CD, Need My Sugar, with this
year's astounding She Put a Spell on Me, her powerful, heartfelt and
hugely entertaining tribute to the great Nina Simone. SFStation gave
the CD 4 stars, saying, "Nalley shows off her soaring, sultry vocals as
she powers through an appropriately eclectic set of jazz, blues,
showtunes and folk . . . . Invariably, her bold voice and impressive
range will inspire comparisons to the likes of Dinah Washington and
Ella Fitzgerald, but it's a tribute to Nalley that she distinguishes
herself as a unique talent. . . ."
No secret to the music world at large, Kim Nalley has performed at most
of the major Jazz festivals throughout the world, garnering rave
reviews along the way, and performed with heavyweights from James
Williams, Jimmy McGriff and Billy Higgins to Michael Tilson Thomas and
the San Francisco Symphony.
