The debut duo recording of Londoners tenor saxophonist Binker Golding and drummer Moses, with its roots in experiments between soundchecks and gigs while on the road with Zara McFarlane’s band. ‘Over time these initial ideas and jams have become templates for improvisation; with their echoes of late period Coltrane and Charles Lloyd, as listenable and memorable as they are full of invention, passion and surprise.’ Beautifully recorded; warmly recommended.

By themselves on the first record; for the second, joined by Evan Parker and Byron Wallen, harpist Tori Handsley and tabla player Sarathy Korwar, and drummer Yussef Dayes. Both sessions were recorded completely live, straight to tape, consolidating the ‘incandescent immediacy’ of the playing. The duo’s ‘soulful tenor sax sermons plus earthily funky drumming, fusing jazz, hip-hop and grime… winningly mix dark, classic Coltrane raptures, infectious hook-rooted rockers and Sonny Rollins-like calypsos. The larger group sets up thrilling rhythm textures merged from Parker’s seamless soprano lines and a chatter of snare drums and tablas; there are atmospheric guitar-like harp figures, and dramatically spontaneous two-tenor tussles’ (The Guardian).
