FIREHOUSE 12 TO PRESENT TAYLOR HO BYNUM SEXTET

On Friday, December 7th, Firehouse 12 is pleased to present cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and his sextet for a performance that features his newest extended composition. The sextet will go into the recording studio at Firehouse 12 the next day to record this composition and others for future release on Firehouse 12 Records.

Critics have called Bynum "a young brass master and compelling composer" (Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix), "one of the most exciting figures in jazz’s new power generation" (Steve Dollar, Time Out Chicago), and "one of his generation’s top avant-garde figures" (Phillip Lutz, The New York Times). In City Arts, David Adler writes "Bynum is a quick-witted and virtuosic player, steeped in the flutters, growls and extended techniques associated with the late Bill Dixon, the tunefulness of Don Cherry and bluesy humor of Lester Bowie."

Bynum is the leader and co-leader of a number of ensembles in addition to his sextet including his chamber ensemble SpiderMonkey Strings, "little" big band Positive Catastrophe, and collaborations with Tomas Fujiwara, The Thirteenth Assembly, Book of Three and many more. Bynum has a longstanding association with composer Anthony Braxton and has worked with other avant-garde figures like Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, and Wadada Leo Smith. Bynum is also a founding partner of Firehouse 12 Records, and the president of Braxton’s Tri-Centric Foundation.
