Positive Catastrophe is the brainchild of Taylor Ho Bynum
(cornet) and Abraham Gomez-Delgado (percussion). Taylor is one
of the most impressive of the latest crop of up and coming
jazz musicians and Aib has long been expanding the boundaries
of Latin-based music and jazz. Together they have come up with
Positive Catastrophe: a trans-idiomatic ten-piece little big
band that successfully connects the dots between Sun Ra and
Eddie Palmieri and beyond! The group enlists a bevy of New
YorkÆs most adventurous jazz and salsa musicians, all of whom
are composers and leaders in their own right. The full line up
is: Taylor Ho Bynum (cornet, flugelhorn, co-leader), Abraham
Gomez-Delgado (vocals, percussion, co-leader), Jen Shyu
(vocals, erhu), Matt Bauder (tenor sax, clarinets), Michael
Attias (baritone sax), Mark Taylor (french horn), Reut Regev
(trombone), Pete Fitzpatrick (guitar), Alvaro Benavides
(bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums). With the exceptional
musicianship of all of these players and their fluidity in
multiple genres, a unique instrumentation that hints at a
traditional jazz and salsa big bands yet includes french horn,
erhu, and rock guitar, and a pair of dramatic vocalists that
are comfortable singing in three languages, Positive
Catastrophe creates a truly boundary-crossing kind of new
music.s
