Taylor Ho Bynum is a prolific cornetist, composer, and bandleader of Avant Garde Jazz. His sextet has been Bynum’s primary working ensemble since 2005, and toured throughout the USA and Europe. The group brings together some of the finest musicians from the Boston and New York scenes. All the musicians are composers and bandleaders in their own right, most notably Mary Halvorson. Ms. Halvorson is perhaps the most original and finest guitarist in Avant Garde Jazz. She alone is worth the price of admission many times over. Taylor’s sextet is performing with six excellent local jazzman called the Buffalo Plus Tet, making a twelve-piece ensemble. Bynum’s expressive playing on cornet and his expansive vision as a composer have garnered him critical attention on twenty recordings as a bandleader and dozens more as a sideman.
