| Pioneer Works Presents Peter Evans and Taylor Ho Bynum Trumpet player Peter Evans celebrates 15 years of solo performance with the release of his new two-hour album, Lifeblood, a return to the solo album format after a five-year break. His work has recently seen extreme developments in terms of large-scale form, manipulation of texture(s), use of the microphone, and the narrative (if at times inscrutable and non-linear) quality. The goal has moved far beyond any exploration of "extended technique" instrumental innovation which is so often the focus of solo improvised performance. Layers and lines of sound are woven into spontaneous compositions that create tapestries of colors, rhythms, and melodies; they are meant to create a complete space for the listener to inhabit, a place to challenge limits and explore the more transcendent and mysterious potentialities of musical experience. To open the evening, Taylor Ho Bynum goes electric with a new quintet of old friends, featuring "brassy noise over off-center groove, with a purple hue." Taylor Ho Bynum's Rank Sentimentalist includes Bynum (cornet), Marika Hughes (cello), Evan Patrick (electric guitar) Stomu Takeishi (bass guitar), and Chad Taylor (drums). Lifeblood is released on Peter Evan's More is More Records. Digital copies of the album will be available for sale on custom USB drives for the first time. Peter Evans is a trumpet player and improvisor/composer based in New York City. Evans is part of a broad, hybridized scene of musical experimentation; his work cuts across a wide range of modern musical practices and traditions. Committed to the simultaneously self-determining and collaborative nature of musical improvisation as a compositional tool. Taylor Ho Bynum has spent his career navigating the intersections between structure and improvisation — through musical composition, performance, and interdisciplinary collaboration, and through production, organizing, teaching, writing, and advocacy. Bynum's expressionistic playing on cornet and his expansive vision as a composer have garnered him critical attention on over twenty recordings as a bandleader and dozens more as a sideman.
