Adam Rogers: Time and the Infinite
by John Kelman
While Adam Rogers is no stranger to the standards songbook, the guitarist's three releases as a leader have focused almost entirely on his challenging yet accessible compositions. They've also utilized the same personnel. Art of the Invisible (Criss Cross, 2001) introduced a guitar/piano/bass/drums quartet that would, with the addition of saxophone, flesh out to a consistent ...
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
Reconvening the same core quartet as on Afinidad (Red, 2001), altoist David Binney and pianist Edward Simon demonstrate how a collaborative effort can bear the distinct imprint of each musician while, at the same time, possessing its own indelible stamp. Binney and Simon have emerged, over the past decade, as leaders in an evolving musical context ...
David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos
by Mark F. Turner
Oceanos is the re-convergence of two dynamic musicians/composers: saxophonist David Binney and pianist Edward Simon. Both have many individual releases and recent works have earned glowing and deserved praise including Binney's Cities and Desires (Criss Cross, 2006) and Simon's Unicity (Cam Jazz, 2006). The recording is a continuation of fertile and fruitful ideas last heard on ...
David Binney: Cities And Desire
by Budd Kopman
David Binney is one of the few player/composers whose work is almost immediately recognizable: he has a personal approach, yet it ranges far and wide across musical styles. 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 ...
