Edward Simon - Steel House (2017) Hi Res

Edward Simon is a pensive, rhythmically astute, versatile player aesthetically concerned with simplicity and economy. In 1989 Simon took over the piano chair in Bobby Watson’s group Horizon and has never looked back ! Simon has become increasingly interested in the folk music of his native land resulting in his “Venezuelan Suite” which crosses the barriers between jazz, chamber and folk music.

All-star bands are usually a hit-and-miss prospect, however, this big three, exceed expectations! Scott Colley is one of the best bassists in the world (and the best from Eagle Rock High School). Brian Blade remains one of the most creative and dynamic jazz drummers alive and Edward Simon is at the top of his game. These extraordinary instrumentalists convert their shared histories into nimble, poetic, genre-leaping music.
