Jazz Trail Calls Mary Halvorson’s New LP “Delightfully Unpredictable”

Jazz Trail recently reviewed Mary Halvorson‘s new release Cloudward, writing that “while this collection exudes a warmer and more accessible vibe compared to Amaryllis and Belladonna, it remains delightfully unpredictable, fearlessly embracing chances without hesitation or defensiveness… For anyone harboring doubts about Halvorson’s compositional prowess, Cloudward stands as compelling evidence. Here, she rides high waves of inspiration alongside peers that understand her advanced musical mind.” Go track-by-track here.

Cloudward, out now via Nonesuch, hit #2 at NACC Jazz last week and got to #117 on the Top 200. It was also #1 at Earshot Jazz. Thanks again to the stations that helped make that happen: AM 1700, CFRU, CFUV, CJSW, CJUM, CKUT, KAMP, KFFP, KGLT, KMUD, KUCI, KVMR, KZUM. Radio UTD, WDWN, WHFR, WIUP, WLFR, WMUH, WMXM, WOWD, and WUML.
