Taylor Ho Bynum
with the Montague Marching Band
Concert & Workshop
Fundraiser for the Montague Common Hall!
Acclaimed jazz musician (cornet, flugelhorn) Taylor Ho Bynum brings his band to Montague for a special concert and workshop! Bynum’s 20+ recordings as a bandleader, as well as close collaborations with legends such as Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, and Bill Dixon, have earned him a reputation as an idiosyncratic master improvisor and composer.
The event begins with a participatory workshop at 4pm, in which musicians of all skill levels will work with Bynum on improvisation and “conduction” — a form of structured, facilitated improv. Alongside members of the Montague Marching Band, workshop participants will have the opportunity to perform with Bynum later in the evening.
At 6:30pm, the concert kicks off with a short set by the Montague Marching Band, followed by a performance by Bynum and his quintet, featuring Noah Campbell (saxophone), Ziaire Trinidad Sherman (saxophone), Daniel Lin (cello), and Luther Gray (drums). The evening culminates in a large group composition/improvisation with community members and workshop participants.
This event is a special fundraiser for the Montague Common Hall, who have received a matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to complete much needed accessibility renovations!
