No review at AMG, no problem, here's my micro-review: get it! Dave Binney, Craig Taborn, Scott Colley, and Brian Blade. Impossible for such a line-up to produce a dud and this definitely is not a dud! Just listen to the samples. Great warm and detailed recording and everybody is hip to Binney's musical logic, his angular but accessible and very appealing melodies and chromatic but fresh chords. I don't know how he comes up with such sophisticated yet immediately accessible stuff. It's quite a achievement. Enjoy!

Depending on the setting, he'll play grand piano, electric piano, their ancestor the pianoforte (as when wittily improvising on Beethoven's Diabelli Variations), harpsichord, organ, synthesizers - pretty much anything involving black and white keys.
