    Ralph Simon and the Magic Club: Music For the Millennium CD in a jewel case.

    “Beautifully recorded and sensitively performed… …a very attractive album.” – Jazziz Magazine

    “Ralph Simon and the Magic Club: Music For the Millennium”, the second Postcards Jazz recording from Ralph Simon, features him on soprano saxophone and breath-controlled synthesizers, engaging in riveting duets, trios, quartets, and larger ensembles with a magic club of world-class improvisers. Paul Bley (Piano/Synth), Gary Peacock (Bass), Julian Priester (Trombone), Bruce Ditmas (Drums), and others bring their own unique musical vocabulary to a set of Simon’s original compositions (plus Miles Davis’ composition “Blue In Green”) that explores his extensive background in Jazz, contemporary classical music, and free improvisation with an eye towards effecting a remarriage of acoustic and electric music.

    “…subtle textures and hues of acoustic and electric music.” – Down Beat Magazine

    This CD, “Ralph Simon and the Magic Club: Music For the Millennium”, fuses tradition instrumentation with electronic innovation, as well as classical structures with modern Jazz feeling, and in doing do reveals directions for the future of Jazz in the next millennium. Welcome to the Magic Club!
