"No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like @maryhalvorson.bsky.social's Amaryllis," WRTI's 'The Late Set' says of its guest and her band. "A sextet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix ... it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux."

A truly great set from #Tomekareid Quartet with @maryhalvorson.bsky.social @roebke.bsky.social #tomasfujiwara last night at the Vortex. Their first number brought this band instantly to mind, even without woodwinds. A definite lineage, to my ears
