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.
