Matthew Shipp: Sonic Fiction
by Don Phipps

Shipp gives his talented cohorts, Mat Walerian on clarinet and sax, Michael Bisio ...

The Song Poetry of William Parker
by Jakob Baekgaard
The voice is close to the essence of what it means to be human. Through the voice, we express ourselves and sing our sorrow. It goes back a long way to hymns, blues, arias and standards. Through the tunes we tune in to ourselves and forget our daily strife. When songs are best, ...

By this stage in his career the ...

I bring that up because this live performance by Daniel Carter, William Parker, and Matthew Shipp brings to mind the lyrics: “Like a ...
