    It’s hardly surprising that her [Mary Halvorson's] latest full-length—a collaboration with trumpeter/composer Ambrose Akinmusire—is bursting with invention and charisma.

    Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings lingers inside and hops out, giving and withholding anticipated satisfactions. It creates an audience more than it plays to one. [Jul 2026, p.47]

    On Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings, Akinmusire and Halvorson are in control of all the moving parts: They might let the pieces hang here and there, but anytime they seem to sit too comfortably, they point them in unconventional directions.
