BIRMINGHAM, AL, UNITED STATES, February 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Marlowe Shepherd is pleased to announce the release of his latest effort, A Tribute to Hoagy Carmichael, in celebration of Hoagy's 100th birthday. The album features Hoagy Carmichael's most known compositions along with other gems. This is a beautifully produced collection of ballads in a jazz trio format of vocal, piano, and double bass. The project features two greats, Simon Mulligan and Gene Perla. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Nicholas de la Motte. Nicholas did a fantastic job capturing these live in studio performances.

Simon Mulligan has been described by The Times of London as ‘the most abundantly gifted of pianists’, by Yehudi Menuhin as ‘one of the finest pianists I have ever had the pleasure of performing with’, and by Herbie Hancock as ‘phenomenal’.

Mulligan recorded his first compact disc aged nineteen under the direction of Yehudi Menuhin, which led to a seven-year collaboration and friendship, culminating with Lord Menuhin’s final concert in Düsseldorf. Mulligan has gone on to record albums for Sony, Universal, Decca, Nimbus, Naxos, and fourteen solo releases for the Steinway label.

Gene Perla is a titan in the jazz world and over the years has cemented his legacy as one of the greats.

His list of recording credits includes a who's who of world's most celebrated artists in the genre. He performances graced numerous Blue Note, Capital, and RCA releases over the years.
