Ambrose Akinmusire and Mary Halvorson present Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings, a focused duo session built from four compositions each plus one collaboration. Long-time admirers, the pair refine a rapport developed since 2009 into something intuitive and open-ended, recorded immediately after live performances at The Stone.

Their interplay balances restraint and risk, with Akinmusire incorporating effects processing alongside Halvorson’s distinctive guitar work, expanding the duo’s tonal palette. The result moves between sparse exchanges and layered improvisation, foregrounding texture, space and reaction.

Both artists bring decorated careers across jazz and beyond, but here the emphasis is on dialogue—two singular voices meeting on equal terms, pushing and responding in real time.
