Matthew Shipp: Let's Do Lunch!
by Yuko Otomo
When Matthew Shipp asked me to design the cover art for his Points album (Silkheart Records, 1992), I showed him works from the on-going drawing study I was engaged in.

Frank Kimbrough: Solstice
by Mark Sullivan
Pianist/composer Frank Kimbrough presents a trio album with only one of his originals, a reversal of his usual approach.

Frank Kimbrough: Solstice
by Dan Bilawsky
Gravitas and weightlessness may seem like odd compeers, but both are ill at ease with one another and beautifully in league in the music of pianist Frank Kimbrough.
