Nina's daughter Lisa Simone was born in 1962, her early years strongly defined by her mother's constant battles and continuous migration around Europe and Africa. As a form of rebellion, she joined the US Air Force, where she served for 11 years. When stationed in Germany, she spontaneously sang one night with a pianist in a bar. As luck would have it, she was heard by gospel veteran Joan Faulkner, who invited her to join her band as a vocalist. After a performance of one of her mother's greatest hits, My Baby Just Cares for Me, Lisa's fate was sealed: the reception she earned persuaded her to de-enlist and embark on a career as a singer. She appeared on stage with her mother for the first time in 1999. Roles on Broadway soon followed as she carved a name for herself in musical theatre. After Nina's death she released a tribute album, before touring across the world with the Sing the Truth project alongside Dianne Reeves, Angelique Kidjo and Lizz Wright.
In 2014, Lisa released an album entirely of her own material entitled All Is Well. At the opening day of the Jazz Spring festival, the audience will experience every facet of her music, as she pays homage to the work of her legendary mother, sings selections from the All Is Well album, and performs a few songs from the Simone repertoire together with a dedicated Hungarian devotee in the shape of Veronika Harcsa.
