Product Description Saturn Sings is guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson's highly anticipated follow-up to her acclaimed 2008 debut, Dragon's Head (Firehouse 12). It documents a new book of music written for her latest ensemble, the Mary Halvorson Quintet, which adds fellow New Yorkers Jonathan Finlayson (trumpet) and Jon Irabagon (alto saxophone) to her longstanding trio with bassist John Hebert and drummer Ches Smith. These compositions, her first for a band with horns, employ harmonies influenced by such diverse inspirations as Clifford Brown, Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers, Marvin Gaye, Thelonious Monk, Alexander Scriabin, Archie Shepp, Dmitri Shostakovich and Robert Wyatt. "Saturn Sings is a continuation of the concepts and ideas heard on Dragon's Head," Ms. Halvorson explains. "My interest in harmony has grown and I'm attempting to build on the foundation of guitar, bass and drums while writing a lot of close-knit and often dissonant horn lines. There are now many other directions to go in, and the horns push the trio into different realms and vice-versa. The more we perform, the more the music gets both looser and tighter; tighter because we are working on developing a band sound, and looser because we are comfortable and trust each other, which allows us the freedom to take chances and to explore within the framework of the piece. Musicians Mary Halvorson :: guitar Jonathan Finlayson :: trumpet Jon Irabagon :: alto saxophone John Hebert :: string bass Ches Smith :: drums Review ...her sonic outbursts are tempered by compositions that are highly intelligent and harmonically sophisticated, full of nuance, beauty and the sound of surprise...the harmonies and interwoven lines that she constructs for trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson and alto saxophonist Jon Irabagon, both potent soloists, add layers of depth to this startlingly original and thoughtful music. This is easily one of the most provocative and fascinating releases of 2010. - --Bill Milkowski, JazzTimesIt's the concentrated emotional content of the group that makes this one of the more original and accomplished releases of the year, from the support of Hebert and Smith to Finlayson's brassy shimmering lines and Irabagon's more exploratory playing. Halvorson already has a reputation as the most interesting guitarist to arrive in jazz circles in the past decade. This CD is only likely to enhance that view, as Halvorson fuses advanced harmony with quartertones. - --Stuart Broomer, AllAboutJazz-New YorkThe quintet setting offers the Boston-born, Brooklyn-based guitarist entirely new harmonic possibilities, and the results are hugely impressive. What's especially intriguing about Halvorson's music is how little it seems to owe to the jazz guitar tradition. Whether it's the creative use of silence to break up phrases (album opener 'Leak Over Six Five'), the adroit juxtaposition of notated and free episodes ('Mile High Like'), the sudden switching from the dirtiest, Nirvana-like opening riff to the most delicately articulated melodic line ('Sea Seizure'), or the understated surprise of a sorrowing chorale ('Crack In Sky'), Halvorson's powerfully communicative music transcends the avant-garde experimental box. - --Peter Quinn, Jazzwise
