Guitarist and composer Mary Halvorson has been described as “a singular talent” (JazzTimes), ”[New York City’s] least-predictable improviser” (City Arts), “one of the most exciting and original guitarists in jazz—or otherwise” (The Wall Street Journal) and “one of today’s most formidable bandleaders” (Village Voice). In recent Downbeat Critics Polls, Halvorson has been celebrated as guitarist, rising star jazz artist and rising star composer of the year, and in 2019 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. On stage at The Clarice is Amaryllis, a six-song suite performed by a newly formed sextet of master improvisers, including Halvorson, Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Nick Dunston (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Jacob Garchik (trombone) and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet). The suite showcases Halvorson’s many musical influences from jazz, experimental, new music and beyond.
