Mary Halvorson: “Ultramarine”
All the instruments go on a solo walk in the final cut off Mary Halvorson’s new LP Cloudward. Jazz guitar, bass, vibraphone and more find room to roam on our highlighted track “Ultramarine.” What’s the traffic look like? A busy path cutting through Central Park in springtime. In other words, a beautiful sojourn, but watch out for the performative biometric yokels maxxing out their heart rate on the crowded thoroughfare. Sure, yeah, NYC is a crowded burg, but there are still places enough to hit a dead sprint without bobbing and weaving between leashed dogs and kids on scooters. Find them!
