简介
Simon's passion for music has spanned over six decades. His early musical influences were jazz giants such as Charlie Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis; he also was intrigued with Latin stars such as Machito, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, and Hector Lavoy. These musical icons layed the foundation for Simon's love of music and influenced his writings. For the past 40 years, Simon has created songs detailing his life experiences. His compositions tell tales that are filled with sensuality, joy, heartache, loneliness, self-doubt, and confronting one's own mortality. Backed by a host of the finest musicians and vocalists in Atlanta (who have worked with mega stars such as Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin, Grover Washington, Jr., Gloria Gaynor, Peaboe Bryson, The Poinetr Sisters, Tyler Perry and Usher), Simon's smooth-silky voice takes us on a journey that is simply stunning in its content. The haunting and poetic writings of a man's odyssey through life have been released in a wonderfully crafted cd that is performed with such sensitivity that it is sure to touch your soul. The cd arrangements encompass a broad span of music genres that include jazz ballads, Latin orchestrations, doo-wop, soul and pop. Each song spins a story that must be heard in its entirety. You'll laugh, cry or smile as each song unfolds emotions that we have all felt in our trek through life. "Songs By Simon, 40 Years In The Making" is a mirror into your world.
