Abstractions Of Reality Past And Incredible Feathers - Golding, Binker - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Binker Golding’s 'Abstractions of Reality Past and Incredible Feathers' is a striking statement from one of modern jazz’s most adventurous saxophonists. Known for pushing boundaries with his duo Binker & Moses, here Golding steps into the spotlight as a bandleader, crafting a set that honors jazz tradition while fearlessly exploring new sonic territories. The album unfolds as a series of vivid, narrative-driven pieces—Golding’s tenor saxophone brims with both swagger and vulnerability, weaving through compositions that are as conceptually ambitious as their title suggests. The ensemble, featuring rising stars from the London jazz scene, creates a kinetic interplay of rhythm and melody, blending soulful grooves, bluesy inflections, and intricate improvisations. Rather than settling for mere homage, Golding’s approach is inventive and deeply personal: each track feels like a snapshot of an inner landscape, painted with bold strokes and subtle shadings. For vinyl collectors, this is a record that rewards repeated listening—its textures and emotional nuances continually reveal themselves. If you’re drawn to jazz that both tips its hat to its roots and looks resolutely to the future, Golding’s album is a vital addition to your shelves.
