Louise Dodds: All I Know
by Neil Duggan
The last time Scottish singer-songwriter Louise Dodds was featured on All About Jazz, she was collaborating with Azerbaijani pianist Elchin Shirinov on their evocative duo album, Two Hours After Midnight (review). That recording wove together folk, classical, and jazz influences, drawing inspiration from the poetry of Robert Burns, who wrote about love, loss, and friendship. Those themes remain central to All I Know, but this time, the compositions are entirely Dodds' own. Dodds has released two previous albums, ...

by Neil Duggan
Duncan Eagles, perhaps best known as the tenor saxophonist in Partikel, is also in high demand as a sideman to high fliers including Zara McFarlane, Shabaka Hutchings, Janek Gwizdala, Gary Husband and Ola Onabule.

The two subsequent ...

Many of us who are fully paid-up intravenous-feed junkies for Binker and Moses would be happy if the semi-free London duo stuck to their well-honed paradigm of acoustic visceralism until The Time Of The Last Persecution. Tenor saxophonist Binker Golding and drummer Moses Boyd, however, have been restless for a while, wanting to reconfigure their music. With Feeding The Machine they have done so, and radically, making electronicist Max Luthert an equal partner in this, their fifth full-length album.

by Chris May
For a nutritious seasonal feast, forget the Holiday dreck that swamps the jazz world every December and instead get your gnashers round London-based semi-free duo Binker & Moses' single “Feed Infinite." Having released four outstanding albums (two studio and two live) since 2015, tenor saxophonist Binker Golding and drummer Moses Boyd have been looking to tweak their paradigm and “Feed Infinite" maps out a possible new trajectory. The track retains the duo's raw, romping, in-the-moment, acoustic visceralism ...
