Ambrose Akinmusire - Barefooted Town [CD]

Considered one of the finest and most individualistic alto saxophonists and composers on the jazz scene, David Binney continues his ascending artistic evolution with Barefooted Town. Joined by rising trumpet star Ambrose Akinmusire and longtime collaborator, tourist Mark Turner on the front line, Binney turns in another fine example of his skills as a distinctive player, composer of music both intellectual and emotional powerful, and seeker of a new jazz expression. On piano the young Cuban, David Virtelles, Eivind Opsvik on bass and the great Dan Weiss on drums.
