Catching Up With Matthew Shipp
by Mark Corroto
As Matthew Shipp enters his sixth decade he has nothing left to prove to the jazz cognoscenti. He has for 40-plus years worked at crafting an instantly recognizable language at the piano. When he moved to Manhattan's Lower East Side in the '80s, he immersed himself in the same do-it -yourself culture that produced the post-punk ...
I Heart The Jazz With Strings Genre + Porgy & Bess
by David Brown
I heart the jazz with strings genre. Tonight, the most bizarre of these records, the great Johnny Hodges with Lawrence Welk's Orchestra. We then check our coats at the famed Chicago supper club Mr. Kelly's for some vocals from Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. Then, after a set of new releases including Chicago's Natural Information Society ...
Noah Howard: Quartet To At Judson Hall, Revisited
by Mark Corroto
Saxophonist Noah Howard is a musician deserving wider recognition. Born in New Orleans in 1943, like many black musicians he began playing music in the church. After a stint in the army, he settled on the West Coast where the avant-garde was progressing outside the purview of New York, which at the time was considered the ...
Samuel Blaser: As the Sea
by John Kelman
Plenty has been written about musical camaraderie--the building of long-term musical relationships and their unmistakable impact on the evolution of a group. Few, however, discuss the inevitable impact of personal relationships behind the music. Times have changed, and few jazz groups tour for more than a couple of consecutive weeks; still, hitting the road for even ...

Saxophonist Ivo Perelman has mastered the art of duets. In addition to multiple collaborations with pianist Matthew Shipp, in the third decade of the 21st century he released two box-sets of one-on-one recordings, the first with pianists and the second with other woodwind players.

Ingrid Laubrock, Mario Costa, Ivo Perelman / Matthew Shipp / Jeff Cosgrove
by Maurice Hogue
This show is the 1,300th edition of One Man's Jazz since it debuted back in May 1999 one sunny Saturday afternoon in the studios of CKUW FM in Winnipeg. How the content has changed since then! More avant-garde, more international players, more intense, but still a joy to put together. Ordinarily I would have done some ...
Perelman / Shipp / Cosgrove: Live in Carrboro
by Mark Corroto
It is rare that we get a live recording from saxophonist Ivo Perelman and pianist Matthew Shipp. Of their 40-plus discs, the majority have been studio productions.

East Axis: No Subject

As multi-reedist Scott Robinson, (Maria Schneider, Roscoe Mitchell) takes the horn chair from Allen Lowe, all is delivered and then some on No Subject, the second, reason-defying release from chameleonic improvisers pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist Kevin Ray, and drummer Gerald Cleaver. Turning to shorter forms and themes than the three lengthy group-thinks which determined 2021's restless ...
