Randy Simon Jazz Project
Since that time, Simon has released five albums (Suspended Motion, Awakening, Light It Up, Nyhavn Live, and now The Linda Sessions) that feature his colorful compositions interpreted by world-class musicians based in Upstate New York. “Each project has been more complex and adventurous than the one before. Every time I complete one of these projects, it makes me want to up the ante for the next one.”
The latest CD, The Linda Sessions, is an exciting program of modern jazz, filled with fresh original melodies, lively solos, and enthusiastic playing.

“Simon's compositions and arrangements are extraordinary. Complex yet completely accessible, he paints dazzling portraits in sound, creating perfect launching points for his soloists. Light It Up, Simon's fourth album since 2008, continues a run of exceptional albums that present modern jazz at its best.”
“Awakening, the third recording of Simon's compositions, not only features outstanding performances by the cream of New York's Capital Region jazz scene, but also well-written, memorable tunes that make this album an exciting listening experience
