Mary Halvorson's album 'Cloudward' has just made year's best lists from The Quietus, Slate.com, Jazzwise, PopMatters, All About Jazz, and The Guardian, whose John Fordham says: “When Mary Halvorson, a gifted alchemist of musical transmutations, released 'Cloudward' in January, it already sounded bound for the best of the year ... 'Cloudward' was appropriately titled to celebrate the band’s sense of liberation about resuming live music after the pandemic—Halvorson’s joy at that rings out in these vivid pieces.”
On 'Cloudward,' Halvorson performs with her sextet Amaryllis—Patricia Brennan, Nick Dunston, Tomas Fujiwara, Jacob Garchik, and Adam O'Farrill—and, on one track, Laurie Anderson.
