Binney describes Tomorrow's Journey as 'the most musically intricate acoustic project [he's] worked on thus far'

This record is me pushing my compositions for an acoustic ensemble setting and playing to new levels with a group of musicians who were not only able and willing to learn the music, but capable of bringing a fire and energy from live performances into the studio. That's a difficult thing to do and I think that on this record we get there and beyond.' - David Binney

Widely recognized for his lifelong commitment to mentoring younger musicians, Binney unites a young, supremely talented Los Angeles-based band featuring pianists Luca Mendoza and Paul Cornish, bassists Ethan Moffit and Logan Kane, drummer Benjamin Ring, percussionist Kenny Wolleson, and brass players Aaron Janik and Jon Hatamiya.
Binney notes, 'The two basses were a new setting for me to write for. I've made numerous records with two drummers but this was the first whole album with two basses.'

Binney describes Tomorrow's Journey as 'the most musically intricate acoustic project [he's] worked on thus far', attributing the musical complexity to having adequate time to compose more involved music and rehearse with his group in Los Angeles in his home studio. The album was recorded at Next Recorders in East Los Angeles, the studio that is home to Los Lobos and Rufus Wainwright.

Following his exclusively electronic releases in 2020, Tomorrow's Journey serves as a reminder of Binney's unparalleled, inimitable range as an artist, and represents his return to the classic acoustic ensemble setting. Tomorrow's Journey consists predominantly of new compositions by Binney as well as compositions 'Casa' written by Luca Mendoza, and 'Cali Culture' co-composed by Ambrose Akinmusire and Binney.
