about

Simon Barker Drums
Recorded by Richard Belkner at Free Energy Device
Mastered By Michael Lynch

Back in 1993, I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to spend a period of time under the musical mentorship of the great Australian tenor saxophonist Mark Simmonds, in his group The Freeboppers (along with Scott Tinkler and Steve Elphick). During that time, Mark introduced to me to so many alternative ways of thinking about drumming, organising rhythm, rhythmic articulation, and improvising. At the time, it was all very new to me and much of what Mark was offering only became clearer many years later. It was incredible experience that deeply shaped my approach to drumming, and also led to ongoing musical explorations with Scott Tinkler.

Since Mark passed away, I’ve been reflecting on his extraordinary contributions to the Australian music scene, and this record is developed and played as a dedication to him.
