From Improvised Communications:

Firehouse 12 Records is proud to announce the October 28th release of Dragon’s Head (FH12-04-01-007), guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson’s debut recording as a bandleader.

Recorded in February at the label’s state of the art studio in New Haven, it features ten new original compositions written specifically by Ms. Halvorson for her working trio with bassist John Hebert and drummer Ches Smith. She has previously composed music for recordings with her chamber music duo with violist Jessica Pavone and the avant-rock duo, People, with drummer Kevin Shea, but this is her first release alone at the helm of her own ensemble.
