The Thirteenth Assembly

Jez Nelson presents a performance given by New York quartet The Thirteenth Assembly. The group comprises Taylor Ho Binum, Jessica Pavone, Mary Halvorson and Tomas Fujiwara.

Jez Nelson presents a performance by New York quartet The Thirteenth Assembly. The ensemble is a meeting-point for four leaders of the younger generation of avant-garde musicians: trumpeter/cornettist Taylor Ho Binum, viola player Jessica Pavone, guitarist Mary Halvorson and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. The combined array of influences on the quartet - including contemporary classical, art-rock and folk - are absorbed into an intricate, subtly adventurous approach sound that emphasises the collective over individual virtuosity.
