Aga Zaryan - Remembering Nina & Abbey (2013)

Aga Zaryan recorded an album with the most important songs of Nina Simone and Abbey Lincoln. Accompanied by American musicians, Aga tells the story of the most important figures of twentieth century music scene. The album is a throwback to the artist's first fascination with music. "Remembering Nina & Abbey" is a collection of unique compositions with new interpretations of hits like "My Baby Just Cares For Me", "Do not Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Wild is the Wind" and "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl". The album is a tribute to Nina Simone and Abbey Lincoln, who is considered the last great diva golden era of jazz. What brings Nina and Abbey is their unwavering artistic attitude is the way he talked about things important to the world of women. Nina Simone is an icon of twentieth century music. Legendary because of the charismatic voice and her stage temperament. The second of the characters is equally interesting, but perhaps a little less well-known. The last diva golden era of jazz. They also both fought for the abolition of racial segregation. On the new album we can hear Carol Robbins, who has recorded with Nina Simone. Musicians perform compositions with unprecedented freedom. Aga Zaryan vocals intertwine brilliant solos by Geri Allen and Larrie Koons. Everything in the accompaniment of one of the most outstanding drummers - Brian Blade.
