Whit Dickey: Morph

By KARL ACKERMANN

Two players on Morph, Matthew Shipp and Nate Wooley, hardly need an introduction to those who venture into free jazz or experimental waters. But the leader, free jazz drummer Whit Dickey, is more of an enigma. Though prolific, his credits are more often in a supporting role. Dickey has been working with Shipp for nearly four ...

Ivo Perelman / Matthew Shipp / William Parker / Bobby Kapp: Ineffable Joy

By JOHN SHARPE

It can be hard not to reach for words like 'transcendent' when listening to Brazilian saxophonist Ivo Perelman.
