Renowned American saxophonist David Binney—a leading figure in the alternative jazz scene for several decades—recently joined forces with celebrated saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Henry Solomon for a tour across South America. Binney’s prolific output includes over 25 solo albums, along with collaborations with Gil Evans, Maria Schneider, Jim Hall, Vince Mendoza, Vinicius Cantuária, Carlinhos Brown, Norah Jones, Antonio Sánchez, and many others. Solomon is known for his genre-crossing work with artists such as Logan Kane, Paul Cornish, HAIM, and Vampire Weekend.
The duo connected in Montevideo, Uruguay, with visionary drummer Mateo Ottonello—a key figure in the Río de la Plata new jazz scene. Ottonello is celebrated for his innovative fusion of jazz, electronic music, and traditional Uruguayan rhythms. Together, the trio recorded with a group of candombe drummers, tapping into the deeply rooted Afro-Uruguayan tradition.
The result is a genre-defying collaboration that merges the improvisational fire of free jazz, the atmospheric textures of ambient music, and the hypnotic, polyrhythmic pulse of candombe.
