Their music reflects a shared love of creative interplay and improvisation together with a deep respect for the jazz tradition demonstrated with exquisite tunes by the likes of Steve Swallow, Bill Evans, Jobim, Jim Hall and Simon Thorpe. In 2018 Karen Simon and Colin recorded their first album together, 'Another Place'. They have been performing regularly ever since, both as a trio and with augmented ensembles always keen to explore new and exciting routes through jazz material from the past and present.
