Edward Simon – Piano
Having played with a
duo on numerous occasions due to the UK’s
strange licensing laws or the small amount
of money available to pay the musicians,
I would never crave it out of choice!
David Binney is a much better musician
than I am, but this still sounds to me
like a band that needs a bass player and
a drummer.
Both of the musicians
here are of the very best, but having
heard this record I am now convinced that
this format does not work for anyone.
The most successful track is the old standard
‘I hear a Rhapsody’. The best you can
do therefore is to play things that are
familiar, Binney & Simon have some
interesting new music here, but to me
it is hard to listen to because there
is no real beat the majority of the time.
Please RED records lets
hear these guys with a full rhythm section
in a set containing a few standards, just
so that old duffers like me can get with
it!
