Kim Nalley , previous owner of Jazz at Pearls in North Beach can sing the blues like no one else I have ever heard. I’ve seen her perform in night clubs and jazz festivals and I can say she knows how it’s done.
She will be in concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco as a part of the 10th anniversary of the San Francisco Jazz Foundation on June 6th. You can buy tickets here though the premier seats for the concert are already sold out.
She is quite a performer and knows how to get the audience in a frenzy. Her ivory tickler, Tammy Hall is one of the best in the business. I sat there in awe of her performance the first time I saw her playing that piano. There is nothing like Kim Nalley singing “Need My Sugar” an original song and Tammy on those keyboards.
Kim’s show will be a tribute to Nina Simone.
