Mary Halvorson - Search

The new Thumbscrew (Michael Formanek, Tomas Fujiwara, Mary Halvorson) album is quality!

yeh that first one grew on me after a while. not sure fujiwara was mixed loud enough

surprised i haven't raved endlessly about ingrid laubrock's anti-house on this thread. MH plays - compositions are iIL's. it's the epitome of that supremely herky jerk RIO/Hermeto /Beefheart chamber-skronk. asymmetrical melodies blossoming & dissolving out of hiccuping grooves

heavy GATEWAY vibes on new thumbscrew. splitting the diff zwischen tal farlow & flying luttenbachers always gonna get my vote

Halvorson’s Out Louds (her,fujiwara +goldberg) also have a new album out, not heard it yet.

She has added the brilliant steel pedal guitarist Susan Alcorn (whose Soledad album is a personal fave) to the septet that did Illusionary Sea on her new album Away With You. It sounds quite ace on the first listen.

Ghost Loop is a great record. I love the interplay between her and Ches Smith

The latest Book Of Angels with Halvorson and Miles Okazaki is totally sick!

Saw her playing with Ingrid Laubrock last night - Kris Davis, piano, Tom Rainey, drums - didn't like the stuff they were playing much but she is jaw droppingly good.

She is so good, although I'm not sold on her latest album with vocals on it, despite it getting lots of good reviews - might need another listen. Kris Davis' work with Eric Revis and her Borderlands Trio has been pretty great as well. Could deffo relate to a Laubrock band not being someone's thing tho!

the latest double lp of her Thumbscrew trio is totally badass, and the cd 2 of covers/deconstructions of standards is totally ace as well imo.

She just won a MacArthur Fellowship. I think I'll see if I can borrow twenty bucks.

Oh wow, that's great.

I need to acquaint myself with her post-Saturn Sings catalog. I liked that one but kind of lost touch for a while there.

Code Girl was really good.

Paimon is my fave Halvorson so far.

I liked Code Girl, but I think the septet and octet albums are my favorites.

I fucking love Code Girl, I was very happy to hear about this award

Digging the sound of this octet album.

Man I always enjoy her so much and don't spend enough time listening to her, maybe because it's "challenging" enough that I have to be in the right frame of mind and setting. WKCR played something last night from Ingrid Laubrock's zurich concert which features her, Tom Rainey, Drew Gress and others and I was loving the guitar on it.

Recommended her to a student today when she was interested in doing a project on a woman instrumentalist. She said there were too many men in jazz 💜

the new tomeka reid quartet record she plays on is unreal — really a fantastic record: https://cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/old-new

Co-sign on the new Tomeka Reid album--it's climbing up the rankings in my jazz faves year-end list

She is unequivocally correct.

Honestly the three guitarists I'm find most interesting lately are women: Halvorson, Adrianne Lenker, and Vanessa Wheeler who uses the moniker VAVA
