David Binney's seventh recording for Criss Cross, 'Anacapa', is his fourth for the label that comprises entirely wholly original music, and the first on which he frames his distinctive alto and tenor saxophone concept with electric instruments and a global array of beats.
Propelling the flow of the eight groove-oriented compositions is an ace rhythm section of John Escreet on piano and Fender Rhodes, Matt Brewer on electric bass and either Obed Calvaire or Dan Weiss on drums; all but one of the tracks feature the two-guitar tandem of Wayne Krantz and Adam Rogers.
Personnel: David Binney (alto, tenor and soprano saxophone, vocals, synths, bass), Wayne Krantz, Adam Rogers (guitar), John Escreet (piano, Rhodes), Matt Brewer (electric bass), Obed Calvaire (drums), Dan Weiss (drums, tabla), Sergio Krakowski (pandeiro), Louis Cole, Nina Geiger (vocals)
