Celebrating a dozen years of work, the all-star jazz trio Thumbscrew celebrates by releasing their eighth album, also their eighth album for Cuneiform, who has been with them since the beginning! All of these players are respected leaders in their own right, and all work together in a number of other projects each led by one or another. While all of the three members of Thumbscrew are noted players, we would be remiss not to point out that the this seems to be Mary Halvorson's decade, as she's won the DownBeat Critic's Poll as Guitarist of the Year for the last few years, as well as placing fifth place this year as Artist of the Year; no one interested in contemporary creative composition and performance can ignore her!TRACK LIST: 1.
