Hugh Laurie’s Piano Teacher Releases Jazz Album [UPDATE]
So you like the way House tickles the ivories? Well, you might be interested to know Simon Mulligan, one time coach to Hugh Laurie, has released a jazz album.
AS one of the rising crop of younger artistes in the classical music scene, Simon Mulligan is an extremely versatile artiste, musician, arranger and composer.
Take a look at his current month’s performance schedule and you would have seen him perform a series of classical concerts in Kuala Lumpur with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (last weekend) before hitting Shanghai to perform with his jazz quartet.
Now he’s just added one more accolade to that versatility. After more than 15 classical albums, the 33-year-old London born artiste now has a jazz album as well. (The Star Online)
The album, Playlist, has been released by Mulligan’s independent label, Ludo Music. So far, I can’t find any links to the album or the label. If you can help, please let me know (cory at b5media dot com). I just received an email from Simon himself. (Too cool!) The album, and samples of the songs, are available thru his website. www.SimonMulligan.com

Are you referring to the actor Hugh Laurie of Stuart Little? Sorry for my ignorance in this matter.
But anyway, it’s good to know that his coach has produced good music. The soothing effect of Jazz is amazing. Love it.
