Royalty of Brooklyn’s avant-garde jazz scene, MacArthur Fellowship-winning guitarist Mary Halvorson, drummer/vibraphonist Tomas Fujiwara (Chris Speed), and bassist Michael Formanek (Tim Berne) all keep very, very busy with their myriad individual projects. But in the ever-evolving, collaborative, radically telepathic trio Thumbscrew—which celebrates its 10th year as a working band—their distinctive musical personalities perfectly coalesce in intricate compositions and improvisations that push, pull, and pin-drop at their will. “The barrage of riffs is both epic and melodic, the low end beefy and the percussion massive. Expect nothing less than magic from these three avant purveyors” (The Village Voice).
