Edward Simon
“
Simon’s piano playing is amazing, whether he plays fast, hard lines or beautiful hypnotic pieces that create a relaxing backdrop for his ensemble.
Simon’s music is very interesting, and in listening to it, you will be as involved as the musicians creating it

«Lovers of jazz piano, Latin-flavored music, and the tender elegance and power of Keith Jarrett’s playing will find all this and more in Edward Simon’s La Bikina. Simon hails from Venezuela and also brings some Cuban flavor along in his lively yet lilting style. Smell the salsa cooking, hear the exotic percussives, toe-tap that dance unique to Simon’s sound.
Simon is pure magic on piano. Binney as always is flawless, fluid, and finds his signature release soloing.
Simon has accomplished a strong offering of quality jazz — and a taste of other lands. Recommended».
