Ruth Rogers-Wright: Fabulous Diva: The Music Of Dr Nina Simone | Live At The Count's
Ruth Rogers-Wright evokes the spirit of Nina Simone in a concert featuring original music poetry and storytelling.
Her smouldering vocals inject Simone's music with soul accompanied by a stellar trio featuring jazz pianist Mark Fitzgibbon and Craig Fermanis on electric guitar.
Ruth Rogers-Wright is a singer/songwriter originally from Brixton London but has lived in Melbourne for 15 years. She first came to prominence and artistic acclaim in the mid-80s during the 'new British jazz' movement as described by seminal London DJ Giles Peterson.
Her band Moontwist featured Australian pianist Mark Fitzgibbon. During her time in Australia she has performed her jazz originals at venues such as Bennett's Lane The Butterfly Club Paris Cat Jazz Club Dizzys York Festival and numerous other iconic Australian venues.
"When Nina passed away I felt the press obituary did not do her justice. I felt she needed a great tribute to celebrate her life and achievements and so I created my show. It's in the spirit of celebration that I always perform it." - Ruth Rogers-Wright
"..Pure and authentic interpretation of Nina Simone's music.." - The Age
