" @maryhalvorson.bsky.social released what will soon officially be one of the most acclaimed jazz albums of 2025." — @natechinen.bsky.social in The Gig, on Halvorson, her sextet Amaryllis, and their latest album, 'About Ghosts' substack.com/home/post/p-...

"No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like @maryhalvorson.bsky.social's Amaryllis," WRTI's 'The Late Set' says of its guest and her band. "A sextet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix ... it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux."

What he said👇; moved to tears at times, cutting edge: @maryhalvorson.bsky.social

Thankful for three great days in Padova with Amaryllis. On to Bologna!
