Here's the tremendous vibes-punctuated 'Night Shift,' our track of the day, drawn from Amaryllis a new six-song suite from guitarist Mary Halvorson with among the players Halvorson, Patricia Brennan (vibraphone), Nick Dunston (bass), Tomas Fujiwara (drums), Jacob Garchik (trombone), and Adam O’Farrill (trumpet) augmented on some album songs by the Mivos string quartet. Signing to Nonesuch Records Halvorson kicks off her tenure on the label with another album for release at the same time in May. It is titled Belladonna, a set of five compositions written for Halvorson on guitar plus the Mivos Quartet and marks Halvorson’s first time writing for a string quartet.
