In 2014 Simon received a commission from the Marsden (UK) Jazz Festival, for a small-group piece which examined the legacy of the earliest days of jazz from the perspective of 100 years later. 

The resulting piece is an exploration of the links between early jazz and contemporary improvised music, along the way referencing a remarkably varied list of figures from jazz history: Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Larry Coryell, Eric Dolphy, Duke Ellington, Joe Lovano, Charles Mingus, Jelly Roll Morton, Joe ‘King’ Oliver, Gunther Schuller, Edgard Varèse & Anton Webern.
