Mary Halvorson
Artist Biography For Mary Halvorson
The Avant-Jazz Guitarist Mary Halvorson Has Been Making A Stir In Downtown New Music Circles For A While Now. She Is Noted For Her Collaborations With The Violist Jessica Pavone Among Many Others. Halvorson's Strong 2008 Debut DRAGON'S HEAD Features Her New Trio Comprised Of The Extraordinarily Fluent Bassist John Hebert And Drummer Ches Smith Of Indie-Rockers Xiu-Xiu . Together They Make A Far-Ranging Expansive And Even Accessible Sound. Hebert's More-Or-Less Continual Dialogue With Halvorson's Spidery Fresh Improvisations Places The Music In The Vicinity Of Free Improvisation But The Set Is Also Distinguished By The Guitarist's Angular Brainy Compositions. She Does Indulge In Some Rock-Like Freakouts And Climaxes When Called For See The Title Track But Her Highly Inventive Playing Is Characterized By Cleanly Executed Loping Intervals--An Endless Web Of Logical Free Associations. It's Much Less Impressionistic And Rootsy Than Say Bill Frisell But Just As Imaginative.
