O’s Notes: Venezuelan trumpeter, composer, arranger Michael Simon now resides in The Netherlands, but the world is his canvas on East, West & Beyond, his latest release. Simon’s affinity for Asian music led him to form Asian Connection, a sextet with Minyen Hsieh (sax, fl) & Hauyi Tsai (pipa), both from Taiwan, Indonesian pianist Sri Hanuraga, Japanese bassist Ikeda Kinya, and Hong Kong-based drummer Tzu Yu Huang. The music has elements of several Asian cultures blended with Latin and jazz improvisation resulting in a beautiful quilt of fresh, modern jazz.
