With Piece of Mind, the new album released in 2024, Simon presents an orchestral work in eight tableaux, offering a powerful, introspective journey into his musical universe. Be one of the first to hear the album live in Ottawa!
Borrowing equally from jazz, classical and electronic music and always sensitive to developing new sounds and textures on the piano, Simon offers solid melodic and rhythmic playing. He is supported by virtuosos Elli Miller Maboungou on percussion and Michel Medrano Brindis on drums. Jonathan Arseneau's electric bass brings an unbeatable groove to the compositions and is sometimes transformed into an electric guitar thanks to the bassist's palette of effects. Finally, the addition of a string trio on half the compositions transports the listener into the cinematic universe of the French pianist.
