From Improvised Communications:
Guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson and her longstanding trio, featuring bassist John Hébert and Ches Smith, will perform in Australia for the first time this June.
The group, which recorded her acclaimed 2008 debut, Dragon’s Head (Firehouse 12 Records), and served as the rhythm section for her even more highly regarded 2010 follow-up, Saturn Sings (Firehouse 12 Records), has been on the road this spring performing new music, including a nine-country European tour last month.
This Australian tour will feature four concerts over the course of five nights presented by the Sydney Improvised Music Association (June 8th) and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival (June 10-12th).
