Taylor Ho Bynum:
Taylor’s expressionistic playing on cornet and other brass instruments, his expansive vision as composer, and his idiosyncratic improvisational approach have been documented on over twenty recordings as a bandleader and over a hundred as a sideperson.
Taylor still plays with friends in collective ensembles like his duo with Tomas Fujiwara, Illegal Crowns (with Fujiwara, Benoit Delbecq, and Mary Halvorson), and Geometry (with Kyoko Kitamura, Tomeka Reid, and Joe Morris), and as a sideperson in Tomas Fujiwara’s Triple Double and Shizuko, Jim Hobbs & the Fully Celebrated Orchestra in JP every month and Bill Lowe’s Signifyin’ Natives.
Bynum’s two decades of work with Anthony Braxton is recognized as one of the most generative partnerships of that legendary composer’s career, with projects ranging from duos to orchestras and everything in between.
From 2004-2019, Bynum maintained an ever-evolving ensemble that morphed between his Sextet, 7-tette, 9-tette, and 15-piece Plustet. Always anchored by a core trio with Mary Halvorson and Tomas Fujiwara.
Taylor is the director of the Coast Jazz Orchestra at Dartmouth, where he also teaches composition, improvisation, and music history.
Bynum also worked closely with such departed masters as Bill Dixon and Cecil Taylor, with other collaborative credits including The Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, Nels Cline, Emily Coates, Bill Cole, Kris Davis, Ensemble Musikfabrik, Stephen Haynes, John Hebert, Fred Ho, Jason Kao Hwang, Titus Kaphar, Ingrid Laubrock, Living by Lanterns, Nicole Mitchell, Joe Morris, Kwaku Kwaakye Obeng, Mali Obomsawin, William Parker, Matana Roberts, Eliott Sharp, Wadada Leo Smith, Tyshawn Sorey, Yo La Tengo, and Zemog El Gallo Bueno.
Bynum is also recognized for his “Acoustic Bicycle Tours” (East Coast 2010, West Coast 2014), where he traveled to concerts solely by bike across thousands of mile.
