Together is a 10-track project that collates and celebrates the multifaceted layers of Carlos Simon's personality, upbringing, and musical understanding, featuring original compositions, improvisations, and arrangements.
In the creation of Together, Carlos Simon took the opportunity to collaborate with other talented friends and musicians in the wake of the pandemic to make exquisite, soul-satisfying music with a message. The album collates and celebrates the multifaceted layers of Carlos’ personality, upbringing, and musical understanding, with a creative process that strikes the balance of original compositions, improvisations, and carefully crafted arrangements.
In addition to performing on a number of tracks, Carlos has enlisted violinist and fellow Decca recording artist Randall Goosby, two-times GRAMMY Award-winning mezzo J’Nai Bridges (“the ‘Beyoncé of opera” - BET), acclaimed GRAMMY Award-winning baritone Will Liverman and GRAMMY-nominated rising star cellist Seth Parker Woods. The album also features contributions from the Carlos Simon Collective, a group that Simon founded and conducted.
