Mary Halvorson Shares Influences With WYPR’s Essential Tremors
Mary Halvorson – the ground-breaking artist whose two albums Amaryllis and Belladonna are at radio now from Nonesuch Records – was interviewed recently on WYPR’s Essential Tremors. In its intro, the site writes that “Halvorson is often classified as a jazz guitarist, but her work — fluid, soulful and inventive — pushes boundaries, having been described as ‘the most future-seeking guitarist working right now’ by NPR and ‘an unflinching original who has revealed new possibilities within the music’ by The New York Times. Hear how songs by Jimi Hendrix, Yusef Lateef and Robert Wyatt guided her musical development.” Hear the Essential Tremors interview here.
