Saxophonist, composer, and arranger David Binney hasn’t succeeded in reaching the same status as Brad Mehldau and Joshua Redman. Here’s a prediction: the history of music will one day correct that oversight, this album being among most eloquent evidence of his undeniable talent. The gifted artists involved in the superb Graylen Epicenter, including Wayne Krantz, Craig Taborn, Kenny Wollesen, Brian Blade, Eivind Opsvik, Dan Weiss, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Gretchen Parlato, all serve a work that is fully representative of an exceptional orchestral language.
