Remember The River - Plak

ENGLISH

"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. <br><br> 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.<br><br> 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".<br><br> 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.<br><br> This LP is a True Stereo recording by Ken Christianson. It was recorded live with two microphones, with no editing.
