Jason Kao Hwang's jazz quartet EDGE, founded in 2005, has released three CDs: 'EDGE' (Asian Improv, 2006), 'Stories Before Within' (Innova, 2007), and now 'Crossroads Unseen' (Euonymus, 2011). "For Crossroads Unseen, each composition is a language of vibrations that accrues into the energy and mass of an emotive landscape. Improvisations cross this primal land confronting life and death rhythmically, as sounds are born and pass away unceasing. Throughout these life cycles, the edge shifts between cultures and genres as individual vibrations tune into the whole sound of the land. The quest is towards full resonance, a journey that is purifying and transformative. " - Jason Kao Hwang 'Hwang's writing embraces freewheeling improvisation and rigid through-written composition in equal measure, allowing ample room for interpretation. Balancing intuitive call and response ensemble interplay with rousing chart-driven passages, "Edge" is an avant garde thrill ride, and a high water mark in Hwang's already impressive discography. '- All About Jazz, Troy Collins 'On 'Stories Before Within,' musicians, compositions and everything else intersect in extraordinary synergy. It is a rare occurrence, and even rarer in music as exploratory as Jason Kao Hwang's.' JAZZ REVIEW, Michael West Downbeat Magazines Critics Poll recently voted Mr. Hwang as #2 Rising Star of 2011 for Violin. "Commitment, The Complete Recordings, 1981-1983," featuring the collective quartet that was Mr. Hwang's first band, was voted as "2010 Reissued Recording of the Year" by the New York City Jazz Record. His octet Burning Bridge, commissioned by Chamber Music America/ New Jazz Works, recently performed at the Chicago World Music Festival, the Freer Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and Edgefest (Ann Arbor, MI).
