Since 2022, he writes the ever-evolving book for the supergroup “Something Else!”, comprised of luminaries such as Randy Brecker, James Carter, Vincent Herring, and Lewis Nash.Shimon is a two-time ASCAP composition award winner, a four-time America-Israel Cultural Foundation “Excellence” grant recipient, and was interviewed by both the Jerusalem Post and Haaretz.

Shimon Gambourg a été qualifié de tout ce qui est bon et mauvais sous le soleil, mais surtout de « talent prodigieux » (NYC Jazz Record) et de « formidable présence musicale » (Todd Reynolds). Son engagement à faire ressortir la singularité de chaque rencontre musicale lui a valu un flux constant d'activités tant à New York qu'à l'étranger.

Plus récemment, il a arrangé la musique de Miguel Zenón pour le Nordpool Orkest aux Pays-Bas et a dirigé ses arrangements au Lincoln Center avec le Orchestre de jazz de MSM avec Ingrid Jensen. Depuis 2022, il écrit le livre en constante évolution pour le super-groupe « Something Else ! », composé de sommités telles que Randy Brecker, James Carter, Vincent Herring et Lewis Nash.

Shimon est deux fois lauréat du prix de composition de l’ASCAP, quatre fois récipiendaire d’une bourse « Excellence » de la Fondation Culturelle Amérique-Israël, et a été interviewé par le Jerusalem Post et Haaretz. En 2023, il est apparu comme finaliste au concours de la Société Internationale des Bassistes. Ayant remporté une bourse complète pour étudier au Berklee College of Music, Shimon a déménagé aux États-Unis en 2016, complétant ensuite sa maîtrise en composition à la Manhattan School of Music.
