Plus d’une décennie après sa mort, Nina Simone fascine toujours autant. Chanteuse, pianiste et compositrice hors norme, l’Américaine slalomait entre jazz et blues en passant par la soul sans se soucier des genres et des étiquettes. Elle fut quasiment à elle seule un chapitre du grand livre de la Great Black Music... Dix artistes lui rendent aujourd’hui hommage à travers ce Autour de Nina qui parait chez Verve. Un album imaginé comme une relecture passionnées de ses principaux standards et titres cultes auxquels ont participé notamment Gregory Porter, Keziah Jones, Melody Gardot, Youn Sun Nah et Lianne La Havas.
