Dusted Digs Mary Halvorson’s Cloudward

Dusted Magazine notes that, on Mary Halvorson‘s new album Cloudward, the celebrated guitarist “has worked with a band dubbed Amaryllis: Halvorson, Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Nick Dunston (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Jacob Garchik (trombone), and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet). Over the course of their relatively brief tenure, they have cohered into a formidable ensemble, energetically collaborating with stalwart commitment to Halvorson’s compositions. There are eight of these on Cloudward, polystylistic vehicles for Amaryllis’ soloing.” Read more here.
