Fred Simon Remember the River NaimCD081 Remember The River is Fred Simon's eagerly awaited second album for The Naim Label. It sees Fred in a trio setting once again, this time accompanied by the musical alchemists Paul McCandless on reeds and Steve Rodby on double bass. Fred wrote each track on the disc, injecting his sense of beautiful musicality into every inch of the score. The piano sounds as light as a feather under his touch, the bass a perfect complement in Steve's hands. Paul's floating and innovative sound has the effect of transporting the whole composition to a higher plane. For years, Paul has played with the relentlessly innovative group, Oregon, winning many awards and nominations for his playing. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist, as can be seen by reading his list of involvement on Remember The River. Bassist and co-producer of the Pat Metheny Group, Steve Rodby has won several Grammys for his work. His rapport with the bass is second to none, easily coaxing out a deep and wondrously rich sound; smooth yet authoritative. This disc is a True Stereo recording by Ken Christianson. It was recorded live with two microphones.

Fred Simon Dreamhouse NaimCD044 Dreamhouse is a soaringly beautiful blend of piano, bass and drums, played with the laid-back ease synonymous with true jazz musicians. Fred Simon, Kelly Sill and Sarah Allen have pooled their formidable talents to record this, their aptly titled first album as a trio. Fred Simon's passion manifests itself in this album; he has written all the tracks himself except one. He has been making music for nearly thirty years, composing for records, live performance, film, dance and television. He has collaborated with the likes of Ralph Towner, Larry Coryell, Lyle Mays, Kurt Elling and Paul Wertico to name but a very few. Kelly and Sarah have likewise worked with many highly regarded musicians including Ernie Watts, Mose Allison, Bobbi Wilsyn and Bobby Conn. Dreamhouse was recorded in just one day at Union Church in Chicago by Ken Christianson.
