In 2007, Simon Spillett was the 'Rising Star' at the 麻豆社 Jazz Awards and in 2009 his album 'Sienna Red' was voted Record Of The Year in the Jazz Journal of the Jazz Award.Simon's quartet featured a driving and energised style which has often been compared to the late Tubby Hayes, one of the jazz giants of the British be-bop generation.
