Halvorson is a guitarist who hangs around with people who play in the "avant-garde" (for a lack of a better word) scene in NYC. Her style is pretty off-kilter and unique - it's definitely not for everybody - often uses this cool delay pedal that gives her notes a "dropping" kind of sensation. She has been adding to her band for years and her latest and best album is called "Away With You", her band on it is an Octet and has a great pedal steel player on it (Susan Alcorn). Other great albums by her are "Dragon's Head" (debut trio album) and "Meltframe", which is a great solo guitar album.

Cecile McLorin Salvant is a fantastic vocalist and the Aaron Diehl Trio has been her band on her past two albums. For One To Love is her most recent and best - it features a good amount of self written tunes like "Left Over", "Look At Me" and "Monday" that are some of her best songs IMO. Aaron Diehl is a great pianist and has released two quality albums with his trio as well that are pretty much just as good as each other, "The Bespoke Man's Narrative" (which has a great version of "Moonlight In Vermont") and "Space Time Continuum". I saw them live earlier this year - they were fantastic.
