Edward Simon's Bolero Project

Edward Simon is working on a bolero project with a singer/percussionist Leonardo Granados. If you want to check out one of the tracks from the album, you can go to iLike.com to listen to 90-second sample of “Como Fue".

There are other artists such as Scott Colley, Adam Cruz, Paquito D'Rivera, Marco Granados, Mark Turner, Pernell Satrnino, and Diego Urcola.

Ed and Leo will interpret boleros and create their own version of boleros which are jazz flavored. A music-minus-one-vocal contest will be held during the period of project. Also, there will be a short lecture that show what a bolero is and the history of the artform. There will be another fan-artist opportunity which allows fans to submit their real-life story. A few stories will be picked and reinterpreted into boleros by Ed and Leo.

This project allows people to be a part of creative process of music.
