O’s Notes: Alto saxophonist David Binney composes new music for his highly anticipated release Tomorrow’s Journey, an album intended to redefine the Left Coast jazz sound. His young, Los Angeles-based band includes two pianists: Luca Mendoza and Paul Cornish, two bassists: Ethan Moffit and Logan Kane, Benjamin Ring (d), Kenny Wolleson (perc), with Aaron Janik (t) and Jon Hatamiya (tb). We loved the spirited syncopation on “Casa” and the brassy groove on “Opal” contrasting with the mellow “Cali Culture”. Binney’s new groove is helping ignite jazz in LA.
