About:
The Thirteenth Assembly is a touring collective
made up of four musicians and four different and musically distinct
small ensembles. Styled somewhere between the classic r&b/soul
revues of the 60’s and a post-modern traveling circus, the
Thirteenth Assembly presents a selection of some of the fastest-emerging
young artists and bands in New York’s creative music scene
in one package. Over the course of an evening, each group performs
a short thirty-minute set, offering a glimpse of the vibrant and
varied stylistic diversity and creativity of this particular musical
community.
The bands:
Taylor Ho Bynum/Tomas Fujiwara Duo: Bynum and Fujiwara
take the experiences of their fifteen-year collaboration to create
a mix of pre-conceived elements and spontaneous improvisation in
a stirring horn and drum duo.
"On True Events, a scintillating album, Mr. Bynum, a cornetist,
and Mr. Fujiwara, a drummer, engage in a duologue crackling with
improvisational energy but guided by compositional prescription.”
– Nate Chinen, The New York Times
Mary Halvorson/Jessica Pavone Duo: A Brooklyn based
collaborative ensemble that has been working together for four years
composing and performing a unique body of music, drawing from classical,
jazz and folk traditions while experimenting with new forms.
“They listen as though they're hotwired into each other's
brain their taut structural discipline prompting a domino effect
of great ideas." – Philip Clark, The Wire
Taylor Ho Bynum Trio (w/Mary Halvorson & Tomas Fujiwara):
A small group committed to the further exploration of the extensions
of composition and improvisation pioneered by 20th century masters
like Ellington, Ives, the AACM, etc, with a third millennial flavor
and a trickster sensibility.
"With his keen ear and extensive repertoire of brass techniques
both vintage and cutting-edge, Taylor Ho Bynum excels in settings
both sophisticated and playful; his triomates - guitarist Mary Halvorson
and drummer Tomas Fujiwara - summon these moods and many more."
– Time Out New York
The Thirteen Four (w/Mary Halvorson, Jessica Pavone, Taylor
Ho Bynum & Tomas Fujiwara): Especially for this Thirteenth
Assembly Tour, these four close friends and frequent collaborators
will form a new quartet, with each member contributing original
compositions.
