Now five years since Dem Ones tenor saxophonist Binker Golding and drummer Moses Boyd's groundbreaking duo album, the pair have a new record Escape the Flames out this week on Gearbox. Before they debuted they had known each other a while and they both played in singer Zara McFarlane’s band and formed a tremendous duo bloc within the tuba and guitar-flavoured Exodus. What both players do is both simple and very complicated. Binker blows, his sound a little like Denys Baptiste perhaps, cycling through a fast flickering tumbling set of chord changes, Moses responding by thrusting and sparring via the multi-directional style championed by Rashied Ali morphing stylistically into driving unapologetic Elvin Jones routines that seem to pay homage to both these great Coltrane drummers in a highly nuanced signature fusion, the circle united. Both players are leaders in their own right now and have achieved a lot. Their sound has massively changed evolving organically and certainly they get down a lot more on the new live record than ever before. Hear Binker with his own quartet the tenor saxophonist with pianist Sarah Tandy, double bassist Daniel Casimir and drummer Sam Jones on Sunday afternoon in the afternoon on Parkway at the Jazz Cafe, Camden Town, London.
