MARY HALVORSON QUARTET - PAIMON - BOOK OF ANGELS 32

  • mary halvorson quartet: paimon - book of angels volume 32
        (2017, cd, usa, tzadik)
Six years ago, the Tzadik label released the final volume of recordings of John Zorn's "Book Of Angels".
Volume 32 !!

Info from Discogs:
Mary Halvorson is a guitarist, composer and improviser living in Brooklyn. She grew up in Boston and studied jazz at Wesleyan University and the New School. Since 2000 she has been performing regularly in New York with numerous groups and has toured Europe and the U.S. with Anthony Braxton and Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant. Mary released her debut as a leader in 2008 with The Mary Halvorson Trio recording, "Dragon's Head".

I'm not familiar with Mary Halvorson's output, but this "Paimon" album, where she (with her quartet) performs pieces from John Zorn's "Book Of Angels" sounds very impressive.

Here's a performance of a Zorn piece that's not on "Paimon" :

And here's Mary performing an original piece :
