Description
Each a Criss Cross leader, pianist Edward Simon - 'The Process' and 'Simplicitas' - and alto saxophonist David Binney 'Bastion of Sanity' and 'Cities and Desire' - who have worked together on numerous projects since 1989, present their first collaborative effort for the label, comprising eight emotion-packed, rhythmically vibrant tunes by Binney, Simon, and bassist Scott Colley.
Propelled by the extraordinarily nuanced, intuitive playing of Colley and drummer Brian Blade, the instrument-like voice of Luciana Souza, and tonal colour from guitarist Adam Rogers and brassmen Shane Endsley, Jesse Newman and Alan Ferber, plus percussionist Pernell Saturnino, the co-leaders solo with rigorous compositional sensibility that only serves to highlight the deep soulfulness and virtuosic chops that make them major forces in 21st century jazz.
Personnel: David Binney (alto saxophonist), Edward Simon (piano), Scott Colley (bass), Brian Blade (drums), Luciana Souza (vocals), Adam Rogers (guitar), Shane Endsley, Jesse Newman (trumpet), Alan Ferber (trombone), Pernell Saturnino (percussion)
