David Harsanyi

According to the New York Times: MARY HALVORSON TRIO “Dragon’s Head” (Firehouse 12). Tense, noisy, a little arch, the first album from this jazz guitarist (with the bassist John Hebert and the drummer Ches Smith) has the power of a manifesto and the self-assurance that comes with smart composition and arrangement. Best of all: this is a group, with its own compound personality.

A few other things I’ve been listening to:
Calexico - Carried to Dust
Bottomless Pit - Congress
Monotonix
Evangelista - Hello, Voyager
Bill Dixon and the Exploding Star Orchestra
Marc Ribot - Asmodeus: The Book of Angels
Six Organs of Admittance - Shelter from the Ash
Nisennenmondai.
