The EDGE Quartet is:
Taylor Ho Bynum – cornet, flugelhorn
Andrew Drury – drum set
Jason Kao Hwang – composer/violin, viola
Special Guest Joe Daley – tuba

Nested in the urban mountains of New York City, EDGE embraces both past and future with musical tales celebrating life and loss. Their instruments, resonant with human and animal overtones, sing through sharp lines vibrating between histories, cultures and genres. Their first CD Edge 2006 reached #14 on the national CMJ radio charts and Stories Before Within, recently released on Innova, hit #9 this past March. EDGE has been presented by the Vision Festival XI NYC , the National Bohemian Home Jazz Festival Detroit , An Die Music Baltimore , the Deep Listening Institute, Brooklyn College, the Stone and many other venues. Upcoming performances include Edgefest Ann Arbor , the Coastal Jazz and Blues Festival Vancouver and Casa del Popolo Festival Montreal.
