David Bindman Ensemble: Sunset Park Polyphony (David Bindman)
Bindman -- familiar from the Brooklyn Sax Quartet and his work with Anthony Braxton, Fred Ho, Ehran Elisha, Kevin Norton, and others -- has been slowly but surely building a small yet impressive discography as a leader. This self-released two-cd sextet album is his masterpiece so far, mixing modal jazz with worldbeat rhythms in a sort of concept album about places, finding one's place in the world, and interaction -- the sort of socially aware jazz program that Shepp and Coltrane were known for in the second half of the '60s, with some musical similarities as well, albeit still sounding like 21st century jazz.
Bindman's compositions (he wrote all the tracks) are consistently compelling; they're melodic and rhythmic enough to be easily accessible, but complex enough and profound enough to reward deep listening, with piquant harmonies from the horns and moments of refreshing counterpoint.
