As a musician (keyboards, piano, electronics and soprano sax), Simon has performed with Lalo Shifrin, Vince Mendoza, Peter Erskine, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and Australian trumpeter James Morrison. In collaboration with his brother, trumpeter Markus Stockhausen, they have released numerous CDs for ECM, EMI and Largo.
