The Kitchen
03.24.12 |8PM
New York, NY
On Saturday, March 24th at 8:00 p.m., Brooklyn-based guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson will unveil her new septet at The Kitchen in New York. This performance will open the second night of an event called Instrumentals curated by Nick Hallett and co-presented with Carnegie Hall as part of the 2012 American Mavericks Festival.
The Mary Halvorson Septet, featuring Kirk Knuffke (cornet), Greg Ward (alto saxophone), Ingrid Laubrock (tenor saxophone), Jacob Garchik (trombone), John Hébert (bass) and Tom Rainey (drums), will perform new original compositions Ms. Halvorson wrote specifically for this ensemble.
"It's been a really fun adventure writing for four horns plus rhythm section," she explains. "When I sit down to write for this band, suddenly six hours have passed without me realizing. Writing for a new project is great because it feels like you have been given a blank slate; you are working with wide open territory."
Music programs at The Kitchen are made possible with generous support from The Amphion Foundation, the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

GREG WARD TRIO
Greg Ward, alto sax, composition; Joe Sanders, bass; Damion Reid , drums
Ward's latest ensemble, which features the incredible rhythm section of Damion Reid and Joe Sanders, daringly explores the stripped-down instrumentation of the trio. Don't miss this exciting night of original music as the Greg Ward Trio prepares to record their debut album for Thirsty Ear Records.
“I’m thinking of Greg Ward, whose long and searching alto saxophone solo in ‘Third Option’ is one of the best things I’ve heard on record this year.”- Ben Ratliff, The New York Times (4/27/10 review on Mike Reed’s People, Places & Things)
