The best way to really listen to the end of the Mayan Great Cycle is with this new release by Jeremy Haladyna titled Mayan Time/Mayan Tales. Throughout this disc, sound bears direct witness to the Maya and their calendars—Mayan notions of time reborn as scales. And atop the scales, tales: of a crystal skull, a fearsome temptress, a still-living bird that saw Creation, and a princess who gave her soul to marimba music. Microtonalism comes to archaeology. Following Selections From the Mayan Cycle (inn754), this second release explores the peculiarly magical works of Jeremy Haladyna who has ventured ever more deeply into the mystery of Maya culture, resulting in his unique collection, THE MAYAN CYCLE.

Jason Kao Hwang's quartet EDGE is nested in the urban mountains of New York City where he created Stories Before Within, personal tales celebrating both life and loss. Over the past three years EDGE has embraced both past and future with musical offerings resonant with human and animal overtones. Their instruments sing through sharp lines vibrating between history, cultures and genres. In the fall of 2008, EDGE will tour Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. They will also perform in EDGEFEST (name has no prior relation) at the Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbour, Michigan. In 2009, they will perform in Montreal and Vancouver. In 2006, EDGE's first CD (Asian Improv Records) scaled the college radio charts at #14 for CMJ and #4 for Canada's EARSHOT. EDGE was ranked #3 on a Top Ten CDs of 2006 list for ALL ABOUT JAZZ. They have performed Vision Festival XI, Tonic, Brooklyn College, the Living Theater, and the Stone, all in NYC. EDGE also performed at Sangha (Washington, D.C.), An die Musik (Baltimore), the Deep Listening Institute (Kingston, NY), and the Sanctuary for Independent Media (Troy, NY). 'Another brilliant collection of forward-thinking compositions from Hwang, 'Stories Before Within' offers a rich blend of jazz and chamber music that seamlessly merges Eastern and Western traditions into a singular global hybrid.' Troy Collins, ALL ABOUT JAZZ, 3/22/08.
