Binker & Moses - Dem Ones

2015 release

“What Binker and Moses have effectively done it show what jazz can be in 2015….if you only buy one album this year, make sure it’s Dem Ones!” - RAN$OM NOTE

“It’s rare to find such raw and honest jazz concepts coming from the younger generation, but it’s clear these guys live this music” - WAX POETICS

Binker and Moses are tenor saxophonist Binker Golding and drummer Moses Boyd - two of the most exciting young jazz musicians on the thriving London jazz scene. Originally meeting through double bassist/educator Gary Crosby’s Tomorrow’s Warriors jazz development programme, they have played together in various large and small format groups including recording and touring extensively as members of Zara McFarlane’s band.

Dem Ones is their debut recording as a duo, and has its roots in experiments between soundchecks and gigs while on the road with McFarlane. Over time these initial ideas and jams have become templates for improvisation, and with their echoes of late period Coltrane and Charles Lloyd, are as listenable and memorable as they are full of invention, passion and surprise.

All the tracks were performed in the live room at Mark Ronson’s Zelig Studio and recorded direct to Gearbox's vintage Studer 1/4" tape machine next door.
