Gregory Simon – Himalayan Afternoon
Featured on Chee Shimizu’s Organic Music channel, Himalayan Afternoon is a collection of ethno-new age music by Topanga Canyon based guitarist Gregory Simon. The album is one of three releases on Simon’s own Innervision imprint; the others include a Spanish guitar & percussion duo album and a thrash metal project. As the title suggests, Himalayan Afternoon is a journey from California to the Himalayas with Simon’s acoustic and electric guitar meeting tabla, drums, and various world percussion sounds. The title track is particularly beautiful with vocalist Bob Harris, who briefly worked for Frank Zappa in the early ’80s, floating along Simon’s Santana-esque lead guitar line.
