Positive Catastrophe mixes highbrow with high energy at Jazz Gallery

A recent Positive Catastrophe show is reviewed.

After stopping by the TONY office last week for a live duo performance, cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and conga player Abraham Gomez-Delgado brought their eclectic, well-oiled ten-piece ensemble, Positive Catastrophe, to Jazz Gallery on Friday. The early set had a loose vibe, heavy on the loopy between-tune banter and ad-libbed arrangements—it was an excellent showcase for the band’s singular blend of the festive and the avant-garde.
