MARY HALVORSON TRIO

Afterwards: DJ Hanneman
Mary Halvorson gitaar, John Hébert bas, Ches Smith drums

Mary Halvorson is regarded as a great innovator of jazz guitar. Consciously avoiding clichés, she creates her own style, in which she subtly distorts her semi-acoustic guitar with electronic effects. On every new album she expands on earlier work, with bright, challenging melodies and exciting improvisations. ‘…tricky stuff, masterfully played by all, and refreshingly surprising’ (The Wire). In her Brooklyn-based trio she plays with John Hébert and Ches Smith.

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance) with DJ Hanneman
