Mary Halvorson Visits The Late Set At WRTI

According to WRTI, “No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis. A septet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix — alongside trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, bass and drums — it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux. About Ghosts is the group’s latest album, and on our short list for Album of the Year.”

The station’s Josh Jackson sat with Mary Halvorson when she was recently in Philadelphia “to talk about her approach to composing for the group, her inspirations, and her fondness for mixology.” Enjoy the conversation here.
