Following the critical acclaim lavished on their 2015 debut Dem Ones, Binker and Moses consolidate and expand, both in ideas and personnel. This ambitious double album comprises one session in which the drummer and saxophonist deliver another potent duologue and a second in which they are joined by stellar guests drawn from different generations and backgrounds. Needless to say the format highlights a strong contrast, and not just between music made from small and large resources. B&M's strength as composers and improvisers, or co-composers in a setting of considerable spontaneity, comes well to the fore. While a piece such as the ‘Fete By The River’ is a compelling example of how a timeless West Indian rhythm such as calypso provides much stimulus for players who can tune into its essence while avoiding soft-option clichés, the more introspective investigations of the ensemble work are no less gripping, primarily because of the careful balance that is struck between the numerous voices at play. They nestle into an open assembly that shifts beguilingly through all manner of tone poetry with a spiky sub-text. A bold statement of intent from two artists who have stayed focused while taking risks.
