Highlights of 2020
Standout albums, memorable session tracks and guitarist Mary Halvorson on the music that inspires her.
Kevin Le Gendre presents jazz highlights of 2020, with a selection of standout releases and memorable session tracks from across the year. Also in the programme, guitarist Mary Halvorson shares some of the music that inspires her. Halvorson is the holder of the 2019 MacArthur "Genius" Grant and her own latest album, Artlessly Falling, certainly ranks among the most interesting of the year. Her influences include sonic mavericks from the jazz world and beyond.
