Cities and Desire

This is the second Criss Cross release for alto saxophonist David Binney, following the enormous success of 'Bastion Of Sanity' (CRISS1261CD). With CITIES AND DESIRE he presents an intense, well-knit suite of compositions informed by the sounds and signals he's absorbed while traveling through such cities as Lisbon, London, Toronto, Rome, Montreal, Miami etc. Returning from 'Bastion Of Sanity' are bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer-tablist Don Weiss; tenor saxophonist Mark Turner and pianist Craig Taborn are creative foils par excellence.
