Nina and Me Tour

A concert special, Ledisi Live: A Tribute to Nina Simone, aired on PBS on November 28, 2020, featuring the performance recorded at Myron's Jazz Cabaret in the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 1, 2020.

[1] After the release of her second album Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue in 2002, she reached a stagnation in her music career.

In 2017, she incorporated songs from Simone's repertoire into her concert with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO Pops) at the Kennedy Center.

During the Nina and Me Tour, Ledisi opened the show with "I Put a Spell on You" and often performed "Feeling Good" as an encore.

[3] Shaun Brady of The Inquirer referred to the concert as "a powerful evening, a fitting tribute to a complex and brilliant artist".

Siler stated, "Ledisi did not attempt to mimic Simone’s unique vocal style.

[6] Professional footage from the tour aired on American television network PBS on November 28, 2020.

Nina Simone served as an inspiration for the title of the tour.
