Acclaimed Australian jazz vocalist Simone Waddell unveils her stunning new single, "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?", a heartfelt contemporary jazz reimagining of Michel Legrand’s timeless classic. Featuring powerhouse soul vocalist Doug Williams, internationally renowned trumpeter Marcus Printup, and multi-ARIA award-winning pianist Paul Grabowsky, the track is an elegant and deeply moving collaboration. Simone and Doug entwine their voices in honeyed, soul-stirring tones, delivering a duet both vulnerable and powerful. Printup’s radiant trumpet lines weave effortlessly with Grabowsky’s eloquent piano, supported by David Jones (drums), Philip Rex (bass), and Tony Azzopardi (percussion). The result is this masterpiece. A world-class track that is both intimate and expansive. Already described by one listener as "so moving it brought me to tears, it is absolute perfection!" the single highlights the enduring beauty of song and the rare synergy of internationally celebrated artists coming together across Sydney, Melbourne, and New York.
