The Gig Digs Mary Halvorson’s New Track
The Gig Substack has the video for Mary Halvorson‘s “Carved From,” which will be on her new album About Ghosts that is coming from Nonesuch Records on June 13. The track, according to the site, is “enough to indicate both a glowing continuity and the exhilaration of a leap into fresh terrain… Halvorson lays into her improvisation with a familiar meld of hard plectrum attack and shrewd, warping decay. Saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins follows with an alto solo whose bristling tensions are more a matter of intervallic line. The adventure wraps up with another figure for the horns, underscored by a sparkly timbre you might not place: a Pocket Piano by the artisanal synth designers Critter & Guitari.” Read more and see the video here.
