David Binney/Edward Simon: Afinidad

Read "Afinidad" reviewed by John Kelman


Since emerging in the mid-'90s with the cross-genre fusion group Lost Tribe, alto saxophonist David Binney has been carving the kind of musical niche that most artists dream of. Though he's a potent and innovative player, his compositional skills are even more important. His writing is so distinctive that one can identify a Binney composition--regardless of ...

David Binney: Bastion of Sanity

Read "Bastion of Sanity" reviewed by John Kelman


Kicking things off with Wayne Shorter's “Lester Left Town," Bastion of Sanity might seem a decidedly mainstream affair. And, with a cover of Duke Ellington's “Heaven" halfway through the 77-minute set, that intuition might be right. With his quartet of 20-somethings--pianist Jacob Sacks, bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Dan Weiss, augmented for this recording by long-time ...

David Binney: Welcome to Life

Read "Welcome to Life" reviewed by Eddie Becton


Saxophonist David Binney's latest release, Welcome to Life, features Chris Potter (tenor saxophone), Craig Taborn (piano), Adam Rogers (guitar), Scott Colley (bass) and Brian Blade (drums). The opening “Soldifolier" is a crisp, open piece where Blade deserves special accolades for his masterful display of unobtrusive styling. “Frez" features Binney, robust, clear, and lyrical. And the supporting ...

David Binney: Welcome to Life

Read "Welcome to Life" reviewed by Sean Patrick Fitzell


After making fusion fun again with Lost Tribe, alto saxophonist David Binney continues to expand his compositional language, organically infusing jazz with notions of rock and funk without sounding kitschy or forced. On his latest effort, Welcome to Life, the nine original compositions are well attended by the assembled like-minded musicians: tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, keyboardist ...

David Binney: South

Read "South" reviewed by Julian Derry


South is a hauntingly beautiful album of outstanding compositional innovation. The sheer angularity of the opening horn phrase is like tiptoeing across an exposed arete, the cymbals nervously fluttering wisp-like at your heels, the thinnest melodic bridge that leads you to the relative safety of the song's harmonic center. Here you hunker down, comforted by the ...
