Taking jazz guitar into bold new sonic territory, Mary Halvorson has garnered acclaim for her adventurous sound, defined by angular phrasing, free jazz experimentation, creative use of pedals, and complex, beautiful harmonies. Presiding over a quintet of bass, drums, trumpet, and sax, Halvorson’s utterly singular vision is simultaneously forward-thinking and surprisingly accessible, “a credible vision of jazz’s near future” (The New York Times).
