Marlon Simon Interviewed on Modern Drummer Magazine

MARLON SIMON
Blending Jazz with the Drumming of South America
By Mark Griffith

“There is a long tradition of fantastic drummers who have created the Latin drum set tradition and applied it to the jazz lineage. It started with Guillermo Barreto and Walfredo de los Reyes Sr. and passed on to Enrique Pla and Julio Barreto. From there it was passed on to Ignacio Berroa and Steve Berrios, then along came drummers such as Horacio Hernández, Robby Ameen, Antonio Sánchez, Duduka Da Fonseca, and Dafnis Prieto. But along the way so many important Latin-jazz drummers have been overlooked, and even more Latin music (that isn’t Afro-Cuban or Brazilian) has been overlooked. Drummer, composer, bandleader Marlon Simon is one such drummer, he comes from Venezuela and has spent time in Philadelphia, New York City, New Jersey, and is now residing in Texas.”

Marlon Simon and the Nagual Spirits return with the ambitious new album On Different Paths, blending a myriad of cultural and musical traditions. Available via Truth Revolution Records, On Different Paths features pianist Edward Simon, trumpeters Michael Simon and Alex Norris, saxophonist Peter Brainin, bassist Boris Kozlov and percussionist Roberto Quintero. With On Different Paths, his seventh and most ambitious album to date, Simon merges those disparate trajectories into a single new pathway that stretches far off into a hybrid future. On Different Paths is Simon’s fifth outing with his eclectic band The Nagual Spirits and one that vaults forward from the venturesome fusion of pan-Latin jazz and classical influences on its predecessor, 2007’s In Case You Missed It.
