The Los Angeles pianist, writer, and music educator Gary Fukushima said it best: “All–star bands are usually a hit–and–miss prospect; however, this big three exceeds expectations. Scott Colley is one of the best bassists in the world; Brian Blade remains one of the most creative and dynamic jazz drummers alive; and Edward Simon is at the top of his game. These extraordinary instrumentalists convert their shared histories into nimble, poetic, genre–leaping music.” The collective recording and performing cred­its of Steel House range from Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter to Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones; each member is a lauded bandleader and composer in his own right. “The communication among Simon, Colley, and Blade stays nimble, focused on moment-to-moment interaction. Musical structure is minimal, poetic, and full of purpose. Walls of genre, category, and style are torn down. Light and space abound. We can hear them down the street now, Simon, Colley, and Blade building their Steel House. The music is infectious. It is everything you wanted – spirited and serious, caring and carefree.” (From the Steel House website) Scott Colley – bass Edward Simon – piano  Brian Blade – drums
