EDGE Quartet
Metropolis Underground

http://www.myspace.com/metropolisundergroundinc
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).
Jason Kao Hwang (composer, violinist) has created works ranging from
jazz, classical, “new” and world music. He leads the quartet EDGE and
also Spontaneous River, an orchestra of string improvisers. As
violinist, he has worked with many artists, including Reggie Workman,
William Parker, Anthony Braxton, Butch Morris and Henry Threadgill. As
composer he has received support from the National Endowment for the
Arts and New Jersey State Council on the Arts and others. His chamber
opera, The Floating Box, A Story in Chinatown (New World Records), was
named one of the top ten opera recordings of 2005 by Opera News.
