"Is Binker Golding the new Sonny Rollins? The new Coltrane? Or both?” - MOJO

"Like those saxophone colossi whose respective roots lay in calypso and roadhouse R&B, Binker opts to shake hips first, stroke beards second." - Q

"Somewhere between George Coleman and Sam Rivers" - Richard Williams, The Blue Moment

On Abstractions:

"Exceptional" - Gilles Peterson

"... A furiously inventive conversation between Sonny Rollins and broken beat." - Clash Magazine

"Binker's keening melodic lines are as intricate and impressionistic as the title." - The Guardian

Voted #2 Best Jazz Album of 2019 by MOJO Magazine

Binker Golding truly is the saxophonist of the moment. A highly skilled musician, accomplished composer, and occasional conductor, Golding has performed with everyone from Moses Boyd and Yussef Dayes to Evan Parker and Denys Baptise. 'Abstractions of Reality Past and Incredible Feathers' is his first quartet album, and typically, it goes against the grain.

The album constitutes a departure from Binker's more rhythm and riff-heavy collaboration with Moses Boyd as well as his avant-garde project with Elliott Galvin. With all compositions and arrangements by the band leader, there is a greater emphasis on harmonic and melodic development, harking back to the more through-composed jazz fusion of the 80s and 90s. All tracks were recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and mixed by James Farber, whose prolific discography includes albums by Brad Meldhau, Michael Brecker, and Joe Lovano. Expect a contemporary twist in the form of London jazz scene heavyweights; Joe Armon-Jones on piano, Daniel Casimir on double bass, and Sam Jones on drums.

Binker explains the inspiration behind the material:

"The album is about experiences I had throughout my teenage years & twenties. Its about remembering, forgetting, thinking you've forgotten & remembering again. It's about people & friends that you'll never see again & times that you can't go back to, so you have to settle for the memory of them instead, whilst holding on to some hope for the future".

英国ジャズ・シーン新世代の旗手としての立場をすっかり確立させたビンカー・アンド・モー ゼス。そのサックス奏者ビンカー・ゴールディングによる初のリーダー作品『アブストラクション・オブ・リアリティ・パスト・アンド・インクレディブル・フェザーズ』。

レコーディングは2018年の6月23日、ロンドンの由緒あるアビー・ロード・スタジオで行なわれ、プロデュースはビンカー自身が務めている。彼は全ての楽曲の作曲も行なうほか、アルバム・ジャケットなどアート・ディレクション全般も行ない、なかなか多才なところも見せている。なおミ キシング・エンジニアはブラッド・メルドー、マイケル・ブレッカー、ジョー・ロヴァーノなどとの仕事で知られるジェイムズ・ファーバーが務め、ジョー・アーモン・ジョーンズ(ピアノ)、ダニエル・カシミール(ダブル・ベース)、サム・ ジョーンズ(ドラムス)によるカルテット編成となっている。

そんなビンカーは直近ではドラマーのモーゼス・ボイド、そして英国を代表するダンス・ユニット、ベースメント・ジャックスのサイモン・ラトクリフとともにコラボレーション・ユニット、 ”ヴィレッジ・オブ・ザ・サン”を結成し、2枚のシングルをリリースしている。
