You’ve got a guy in the David Binney Quartet who’s been shaping modern jazz with a fearless approach to composition and improvisation. Binney, a celebrated alto saxophonist recognized by DownBeat Critics Poll and widely respected for his role in assembling the Donny McCaslin group that recorded David Bowie’s Blackstar, leads a quartet that pairs intricate melodies with explosive, expressive vivo. The duo of Criss Cross Jazz releases—A Glimpse Of The Eternal (2022) and The Time Verses (2017)—mark a high-water mark in Binney’s discography, featuring top-tier collaborators and unmistakable Binney-driven originals. Whether you’re in a city on tour or checking in for a studio-session vibe, this is straight-ahead modern jazz with a compelling edge.
