NONE of the compositions in this fantastic set by saxophonist Binker Golding have a name. But they certainly have a bright future.
All are being test-run for a forthcoming album, which means titles have yet to be added. As a consequence, Golding has to cue in his band members by humming a quick snippet of each.
His gumbo of classic hard bop and contemporary soul is delicious — it’s technically mind-blowing and fascinatingly complex, yet melodic enough to ensure it’s far more than just an exhibition of supreme musicianship.
