Had the opportunity on Thursday (1/31) to chat with cornetist, composer, educator, arranger, and bicyclist
Taylor Ho Bynum about his gig this Saturday (2/01) at
Real Art Ways, 56 Arbor Street in Hartford. Dubbed the "
Prince Project", Mr. Bynum and his ensemble will tackle 5 or 6 pieces from Mr. Roger Nelson, otherwise known as Prince. Included in the ensemble is
Kyoko Kitamura (vocals, piano),
Jim Hobbs (alto saxophone),
Nick Lloyd (yes, he of Firehouse 12, here on keyboards),
Evan Patrick (guitar, vocals),
Abraham Gomez-Delgado (voice, percussion),
Stomu Takeishi (bass) and
Pheroan akLaff (drums). All the music comes from the period between 1982-1990) and will include an arrangement of "
Crystal Ball" (an unreleased track.)
The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and will take place in the big lobby of RAW. For more information, go to
