“…Jim Hobbs and his Fully Celebrated Orchestra combine vast musical prowess and playful, irreverent intelligence on Lapis Exilis. No one today is playing the alto better than Hobbs—the vast range of tones he summons from the small horn is altogether remarkable—and Orchestra members cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, bassist Timo Shanko, and drummer Django Carranza.
“Critics have called Bynum—think Anthony Braxton—“ a  young brass master and compelling composer\” (Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix), \”one of the most exciting figures in jazz’s new power generation\” (Steve Dollar, Time Out Chicago), and \”one of his generation’s top avant-garde figures\” (Phillip Lutz, The New York Times). In City Arts, David Adler writes \”Bynum is a quick-witted and virtuosic player…” All About Jazz.  Began teaching at UMass Dartmouth in 2017.
