Brian Simpson Heads to "South Beach" |
| Aug 31 2010 |
Keyboardist/composer Brian Simpson releases his newest project (and his debut for Shanachie Entertainment) on Aug. 31. South Beach is the fourth solo album for Dave Koz’ longtime musical director and features a powerhouse lineup of guest stars including George Duke, Peter White and Euge Groove. The title track and first single have already established a beachhead on the charts, which delights Simpson. ”I’m very happy we chose ‘South Beach’ as the first single because it’s probably the song that’s most indicative of my style. My travels take me to some pretty nice places, but my favorites are always the ones with beaches. In the last year I’ve been to Hawaii, Bali, Indonesia, and several beaches in Florida. I would walk along beaches listening to the rough ideas for this CD on my ipod. The wind, sea, and sand really inspired the melodies you’ll hear on South Beach.” Simpson has been out all summer with Koz and Jonathan Butler on their “Together Again” tour.
