David Binney & Edward Simon: Oceanos

by Glenn Astarita
Recorded in 2004 and released in 2007, this studio set provides another musical viewpoint set forth by the collaborations (2001's Afinadad, on Red Records) of pianist Edward Simon and saxophonist David Binney. With lithe supported from bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade, the music iterated here parallels the album title. Think of a soothing coastal ...
David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos

by John Kelman

The recording is a continuation of fertile and fruitful ideas last heard on ...

Paradoxically, Cities And Desire has as many differences with Binney's last release, Out Of Airplanes (Mythology, 2006), as similarities, and yet both are quite distinctly David Binney. Some ...
David Binney: Cities And Desire

by Michael P. Gladstone
I approached this album with some trepidation, still carrying a perception of David Binney as a free blower from his work in the '90s. I pulled out a copy of The Luxury of Guessing (Audioquest, 1995) and gave it a listen. It wasn't bad, and it also included another hot sax man, Donny McCaslin. Perhaps my ...
