MARY HALVORSON’s - Code Girl

November 2021

Recently hailed as “NYC’s least-predictable improviser” by Howard Mandel, guitarist-composer Mary Halvorson now emerges as one of the city’s least-predictable songwriters. Her forthcoming release Artlessly Falling – available via Firehouse 12 Records on October 30, 2020, two weeks after Halvorson’s 40th birthday – expands and evolves Code Girl, the Brooklyn-based artist’s critically-acclaimed project featured on the cover of DownBeat in June 2018.

“When all her influences click into place, the result is like little else, in any genre.” – Seth Colter Walls, Pitchfork

“One of the most distinctive voices in jazz ... possessing a slippery tone.” – Chris Barton, LA Times
