Marlbank Calls Mary Halvorson “A Thelonius Monk Of The Guitar”
About acclaimed guitarist and composer Mary Halvorson, Marlbank writes, “there’s nothing heavy footed or formulaic about the rhythmic patterns she glides over and there’s lots of metrical shifting and a restlessness about the pieces. And yet there’s nothing obscurantist for the sake of it here. She is her own best navigator – a Thelonious Monk of the guitar for sheer individual vision – and reliably surveys the road less travelled. You never know where an album of this remarkable player’s is going to go next.” Read more here.
Halvorson’s newest album, About Ghosts, is at radio now via Nonesuch and just hit #2 on the NACC Jazz charts. Thanks to all the stations that have been supporting the LP so far!
