He started out with a guitar and another guy.

Then he picked up motley folk and jazz ensembles.

On his farewell tour, we hear, he’s taking the New York sextet yMusic, a contemporary-classical group.

    worth noting, this isn’t a purely new collaboration: they performed on his last tour.

      yMusic only performed with him at Eaux Claire. Not a tour. They are working on the album due @ the time of this tour.

  • I really hope Pal Simon will do this with this classical colaboration. The only thing I know was – after finishing his Benefit Tour for the E.O. Wilson Foundation Paul held for fundraising the Half Earth Project – He was with already busy by making recording with YMusic in the studio.

    This vid has been taken during the following concert (that was postponed due to very bad weathercircumstances) at:
