About Matthew Shipp

Results for pages tagged "Matthew Shipp"...

Musician

Matthew Shipp was born December 7, 1960 in Wilmington, Delaware. He started piano at 5 years old with the regular piano lessons most kids have experienced. He fell in love with jazz at 12 years old. After moving to New York in 1984 he quickly became one of the leading lights in the New York jazz scene. He was a sideman in the David S. Ware quartet and also for Roscoe Mitchell's Note Factory before making the decision to concentrate on his own music.

Mr Shipp has reached the holy grail of jazz in that he possesses a unique style on his instrument that is all of his own- and he's one of the few in jazz that can say so.

by Dan McClenaghan
October 21, 2026

Pianist Matthew Ship has always been cryptic. His music does not fit into categories. And though he may not boast a Sun Ra-level of recording prolificness, he is always, always busy. And if his output as a leader ever wanes, he sits in on sideman slots with tenor saxophonists David S. Ware and Ivo Perelman (and ...

Read "Polkadots & Moonbeams" reviewed by Mark Corroto

September 29, 2026

The recordings of Tony Bennett and Bill Evans come to mind, as does the music of Billie Holiday and Lester Young. Polkadots & Moonbeams, by pianist Eri Yamamoto and saxophonist Chad Fowler, creates that same feeling. Although recorded in ...
