Last month, Nina Simone's daughter Simone celebrated what would have been her mother's 75th birthday with a tribute concert at the Canal Room. The Canal Room show was to celebrate songs from Simone's upcoming CD Simone on Simone, which is a big band tribute to her mother. Simone on Simone is scheduled for release on May 13th (on Koch/High Priestess). The new CD features some of Nina Simone's little known gems such as "I Hold No Grudge" and "Don't Pay Him No Mind" along with well-known songs such as "Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair" and "Love Me or Leave Me".
