David Binney / Edward Simon: Oceanos

Read "Oceanos" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


Alto saxophonist David Binney has had a very active year. The well-received Cities and Desire (Criss Cross, 2006) was an intense and autobiographical album. Oceanos, co-led by pianist Edward Simon, offers a diverting and more satisfactory package. Simon and Binney go back a long way and have recorded together on various projects over the ...

David Binney & Edward Simon: Oceanos

Read "Oceanos" reviewed 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

Read "Oceanos" reviewed 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

Read "Oceanos" reviewed 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 ...

Scott Colley: Music Architect

Read "Scott Colley: Music Architect" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


Scott Colley can be found adding his big-toned, always appropriate contra bass to a number of settings. He's been a staple on the New York music scene for some time now, with older established musicians like Pat Metheny, Andrew Hill, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Michael Brecker, Clifford Jordan, Herbie Hancock and many, many more. But also ...

David Binney: Cities And Desire

Read "Cities And Desire" reviewed 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

Read "Cities And Desire" reviewed 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 ...
