Simon H. Fell |
 | | The trio of Fell, Andy Street (piano) and Tony Shepherd (drums), as 'Lucky Jim', recorded the first Bruce's Fingers album; an ongoing duo with Charles Wharf has recorded four albums, but probably the most significant early success was Hession/Wilkinson/Fell, a free jazz trio which gained a reputation for decisive, passionate improvising. |
 | | Simon Fell has spent much of the past 20 years trying to refine various syntheses of composition, improvisation and jazz. |
 | | Fell was awarded a composer's research and development bursary by the Arts Council in 1993 to compose Compilation III, a large-scale work for concert pianist, free jazz trio, rock guitarist, jazz orchestra, electronics and tape; a recording of a revised version for 42 musicians appeared in 1998. |
