KUVO Jazz Features Mary Halvorson’s About Ghosts, Which Has Topped NACC Jazz For Two Weeks
KUVO Jazz has shined a spotlight on About Ghosts, the newest album from Mary Halvorson‘s Amaryllis sextet. The feature notes that the record is “not literally ‘about’ ghosts, rather it is a celebration of sonic ghostly effects. Random sounds, sighs from electronic sources, horn bleats that call to mind the chill of a ghostly presence. Halvorson does nod to other ghosts having immersed her compositions in the form of Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus, major jazz composers who balanced intricate orchestration and composition with individualistic improvisation.” There’s more here.
At radio now from Nonesuch, About Ghosts has been #1 on the NACC Jazz chart for two weeks. Thanks to all the stations that have played the record and supported it on your charts!
