Taylor Ho Bynum’s JAK4

Part of the Creative Music Series, Taylor Ho Bynum’s JAK4 performs at Lilypad on Thursday, May 30. For the first time in five years, since the release of his critically acclaimed 2019 recording "The Ambiguity Manifesto," Taylor Ho Bynum leads a band on the road for a week of concerts throughout New England. Featuring a new cast of deeply creative artists and an unusual instrumentation of subtle timbres and sonic possibility, THB’s JAK4 offers a contemplative and organic approach to creative music making, freely blending the composed and the spontaneous, maximizing the individual agency of the performers while in service to the collective sound. The group features Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet, flugelhorn, and compositions), Jacqueline Kerrod (harp), Allison Burik (bass clarinet), and Ken Filiano (bass). Tickets are $10 for seniors and students, and general admission is $20.
