Three exciting new albums of music–2 CDs and 1 DVD–are to be released this month.

Anthony Braxton & Taylor Ho Bynum
Duets (Amherst) 2010 (New Braxton House)

Braxton’s first ever stand-alone concert DVD recording, two sets from Braxton and Bynum’s 2010 concert in Amherst, MA (the first time they ever played a live duo performance, and the penultimate gig on Bynum’s New England Acoustic Bicycle Tour).

The DVD (and audio-only download) will be available starting June 4 to members of the Tri-Centric Foundation, and available to the general public August 13.

Taylor Ho Bynum, John Hébert, Gerald Cleaver (Order here)
Book of Three: Continuum (2012) (Relative Pitch)

The second album from the Book of Three, because cornet/bass/drums power trios are the way to go. Some unusual repertory, with compositions by the great Bobby Bradford, Jim Hobbs, Salim Washington, and Gerald, in addition to the group’s spontaneous creations.

The Convergence Quartet
Slow and Steady (NoBusiness)

The third album from the cross-Atlantic collective, with Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet), Alexander Hawkins (piano), Dominic Lash (bass), and Harris Eisenstadt (drums). New music by all four of them, captured live at the Vortex in London at the end of a two-week tour.

For media inquiries, please contact the Other Side Artist Cooperative.

And stay tuned: coming this November on Firehouse 12 Records, the 4-album set Navigation from the Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet & 7-tette!
