Taylor Ho Bynum keeps his Boston connection

English: Taylor Ho Bynum, Moers Festival 2007

Image via Wikipedia

From The Boston Globe:

For Taylor Ho Bynum and his sextet all roads lead through Boston. Over the past decade the Brookline-raised cornetist has become a major force on the outward-bound side of the jazz continuum. As a prolific composer and multifarious bandleader, as the cofounder of the respected label Firehouse 12 Records, and as a dogged supporter of avant-garde patriarch Anthony Braxton, Bynum has forged deep ties with many of the most adventurous improvisers associated with jazz over the past half century. He celebrates the release of his multigenerational sextet’s new Firehouse 12 album “Apparent Distance’’ tonight at Outpost 186, and while he didn’t meet all his bandmates in Boston, they share enduring ties to the Beantown scene.
