Edward and Marlon Simon are both juried artists and grant recipients of Chamber Music America; they have received multiple international awards; and their collective discography is staggering. They have appeared on recordings with straight-ahead artists such as Herbie Mann, Bobby Watson, John Patitucci, and Terrance Blanchard, and Latin leaders including Paquito D’Rivera, Luciana Souza, Charlie Sepulveda, Hilton Ruiz, and Patato Valdez.
To have these two brothers come together in Brattleboro in a rare, New England performance, is a lucky opportunity for the Vermont Jazz Center community. What surprises will they deliver? Edward Simon in the liner notes for his recording “Beauty Within” states: “I find sorcery to be directly related to music, and I like to think of musicians as sorcerers. Our true goal is to make magic on stage through sounds, through music.”
