MARY HALVORSON “THUMBSCREW”
Pittsburgh 2021 [no label, 1CD]
17. International Jazz Poetry Month. Alphabet City, Pittsburgh, PA; September 23, 2021. Very good audio (ripped from HDTV webcast).
Thanks to henrymucca for sharing the HDTV webcast at Dime.
henrymucca noted:
Throughout August 2021, Thumbscrew (Mary Halvorson, guitar; Michael Formanek, double bass; and Tomas Fujiwara, drums) were living on Sampsonia Way as part of their fourth City of Asylum residency, developing original compositions for their newest album. This concert, recorded on the final days of residency, is a showcase of their new material and a sneak peek of a forthcoming album.
Since 2005 September in Pittsburgh means it’s time to celebrate Jazz Poetry at City of Asylum. This year, Jazz Poetry 2021 melds all the opportunities of virtual programming with the thrilling return to in-person concerts, all while speaking to the very core of City of Asylum’s mission to protect and celebrate creative free expression.
There will be nine completely different concerts including 4 international commissions created specially for Jazz Poetry 2021. Some will be virtual, some will be live-streamed from Europe directly to Pittsburgh, and some concerts will be live at City of Asylum @ Alphabet City. All concerts will continue to be streamed on our virtual programming channel. There are plenty of options to tune-in and participate and we’re welcome to welcome back this community in whatever way suits you best.
All programs are streamed and can be watched at any time.
Missed a program? Don’t worry - all programs will remain on demand and accessible on Crowdcast page.

Hey Anti, triple H , what the fuck is goin on here . Where the fuckin shit is the classic rock ? All these posts lately of no talent bitches . Clapton and Tull was the last rock music posted here . They need to get wit the program as this is gettin ridiculous. More classic rock is what everybody wants . Some Led Zep and Cactus , Sabbath wit Ozzy would hit the spot
By Derrick on Jan 23, 2022
Also The Who , Ten years after , ELP

Classic rock is the best . Unfortunately there is no more good rock music anymore. It started dying with MTV. Now it’s completely dead . When will rap finally die ? It can’t come soon enough.
By George on Jan 23, 2022

This website is full of gay men, all obsessed about size.
In the interests of equality I’m asking if the women on here would like to feel the benefit of my strap-on. It’s a foot long plastic schlong - Ann, Tracy, Paul, you’ll love it.
I would also like to peg Mark and Swappers, I think they would like that
By Strap-on Suzi on Jan 23, 2022
Not all rap is bad . Vanilla Ice and M & M were good back in their day . Gerardo was pretty cool too

By ScarRad on Jan 23, 2022
Sorry, that’s Don Wilson.
By ScarRad on Jan 23, 2022
She won’t fuck me, no chicks will. *sob*
By U L E on Jan 23, 2022
Suzi would you fuck me with your strap on please? Then I won’t have to say “no chicks will ever fuck me” again.
I just won’t elaborate on the details after you fuck me.
By U L E on Jan 23, 2022
Hey Derrick, get on the game plan with the “new” live Cactus album. It’s called “The Birth Of Cactus” from 1970. Only has 6 tracks though.
By HHH on Jan 24, 2022
OK U L E you gotta deal - but only if you can persuade Rock Chick Traci to make it a threesome. I hear she swings both ways.
By Strap-on Suzi on Jan 24, 2022
Sad about Dan Wilson . He was the Jimmy Hendricks of his time . Condolences to his family and loved ones
By HHH on Jan 24, 2022
All name stealers above . Haven’t commented on this one Hebrew Mark again probably along with his name stealing pals . I’m sure Cactus is great anti Derrick. I’ve never listened to them though .
By HHH on Jan 24, 2022
Hebrew Mark trying to be cute and clever with his occasional non offensive music posts , designed to fool people. You don’t fool me Mark .
By HHH on Jan 24, 2022
I is to smart 4 u
By HHH on Jan 24, 2022
That will never happen, Suzi. I can’t even persuade chicks to talk to me. *sob*
Will you still please fuck me with your strap-on? I’m so tired of saying “no chicks will ever fuck me”.
By U L E on Jan 24, 2022
