by Jerome Wilson
Guitarist Mary Halvorson has displayed her playing and composing talents in a number of settings, but this second release by her song-based band, Code Girl, is one of the most focused and intense things she has ever done.

Mary Halvorson: Artlessly Falling

Not content with having scaled the heights of the guitar pantheon, with the second release from Code Girl, Mary Halvorson also cements her place in a unique genre of her own design.

Anthony Braxton: Quartet (New Haven) 2014

by Don Phipps
The shifting moods of Anthony Braxton's Quartet (New Haven) 2014 probably have to do with the song dedications. Each number reflects a famous and important popular musician and composer-Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, James Brown and Merle Haggard.
