(Mary Halvorson interview?)
To mark the release of her new recording, Dragon's Head, on Firehouse 12, Mary Halvorson brought her trio down to the WFMU studios to throw down a fire breathing live set for The Long Rally. The band features Ches Smith on drums (Xiu Xiu, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog), John Hebert on bass (Uri Caine, the late Andrew Hill, his own band, Byzantine Monkey), and Mary Halvorson on guitar (People, Anthony Braxton, duo with Jessica Pavone). They tore through four of Mary's craggy tunes (three songs from the album plus a ballad called, "No. 11") and left all in attendence speechless. -Scott McDowell via Beware of the Blog

One of Scott's favorite musicians in modern jazz, Taylor Ho Bynum, drops by the Long Rally with his longtime accomplice Tomas Fujiwara for a cornet/drums improv throwdown. Tune in for brass titters, drum smears, and some prodigious musical telepathy. -Scott McDowell

looks cool.
thanks for posting.
Thank you very much for even more of these fine musicians. As far as the kbps go, I find 256 perfectly adequate for a live recording ... to my ears, it's only around 192 or so that I can't listen to it. But then, I still persist in preferring vinyl to anything in the digital realm ... by the time it gets to digital, its ALL compromised to my hoity-toity eardrums!
Thanks for the recent avalanche of posts! Henry Threadgill! Henry Threadgill!
many thanks. I agree music such as this is great regardless of the bitrate. thanks for the Mary - had no luck with the link to the taylor . much appreciated - incredible musicians
Lym,
many many thanks for this post. I agree with you, this is so fresh that who cares of the bitrate.
btw, can you check the ho bynum's link?
ciao

thanks, i really enjoyed those trios (the duo link misdirects btw). very nice to hear mary stretching out a bit on her own material.
Thanks for the love, LYM. I'm a big fan of inconstant sol and have played tons of stuff on the radio that I first encountered here.
I should mention that these tunes are available as part of WFMU's Free Music Archive http://freemusicarchive.org . I generally will post future guest spots in the FMA, if the artist is in agreement. (You might also dig the recent set with Mike Pride's From Bacteria to Boys, or the set from Peter Evans from last year, just do a search.) Mary Halvorson, Peter Evans and Weasel Walter are coming to do a trio in a few weeks and hopefully that will find its way up there.
Thanks again for your interest and for spreading the music.

Thanks so much LYM! 256 is ok; in fact I have most of MH's stuff at that rate because I bought it off Amazon. Love her work.
The THB link appears to be incorrect, though.
Thanks a lot for these! Two Halvorson/Ho Bynum gems in one post!
However, the second link is not working (looks like it's been cut off somehow).
The Halvorson trio stuff is wonderful, brash and noisy and enthusiastic, and great chops to boot. Never would have encountered this without your generosity. Thank you!
Many thanks for this. I've really been digging Halvorson's playing lately.
The Ho Bynum link seems to be incorrect, btw.
Great site you've got here.
These links don't work, unfortunately. The second link points to only one's own files (if one has them) on Mediafire, BTW.
Thank you very much for the Halvorson. Love her music ever since I heard Dragon's Head.
Could the link for the Bynum be fixed? Would love to get that also.
Thanks. Rob
