В начале 90-х мне посчастливилось натолкнуться на пластинки группы Simon & Bard, выпущенные в период с 1980 по 1984 год на лэйбле Flying Fish Records, откуда и узнал про Фрэда Саймона. Состав совершенно неизвестной для меня группы по тем временам впечатлял. Среди постоянных ее участников фигурировали Paul Wertico и Steve Rodby, которые уже через пару лет появятся в составе Pat Metheny Group. На альбомах Musaic (1980) и The Enormous Radio (1984) в качестве гостя присутствует Larry Coryell, на альбоме Tear It Up (1982) – Ralph Towner.
Фрэд Саймон умудряется балансировать где-то на стыке джаза, рока, фьюжена, нью-эйджа, фолка и академической музыки, поэтому его альбомы трудно отнести к какому-то определенному жанру. Несомненно лишь то, что это всегда музыка превосходного качества. Жаль, что дискография у Фрэда Саймона весьма скромная, так же как и информация, доступная о нем в интернете.
Вот приблизительный перевод статьи c allmusic:
Клавишник из Чикаго Фрэд Саймон сотрудничал с такими тяжеловесами, как Larry Coryell и записывался в качестве лидера при поддержке таких музыкантов, как духовик группы Oregon Paul McCandless, так же как басист Steve Rodby и барабанщик Paul Wertico из Pat Metheny Group. Собственные группы Саймона в области фьюжен находят интересный подход к этому стилю музыки, там, где многие другие попадают в капканы избитых клише. На рубеже тысячелетия и позже Саймон возглавил несколько записей для лэйбла Naim, выпустив такие альбомы как Dreamhouse (2000), Remember the River (2004) и Since Forever (2009).
