Falso d'autore o geniale trovata? Il caso di "Blue" dei Mostly Other People Do The Killing

Your Shipp Has Come In
by Mark Corroto
These two guest appearances demonstrate that pianist Matthew Shipp has become an elder statesman in the jazz world. How that happened can be boiled down to two simple elements.
