Trio leaders such as Jason Moran, John Escreet, Matthew Shipp all write and perform their ...

Matthew Shipp - Joe Morris: Broken Partials
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una suite di sessantadue minuti suddivisa in otto movimenti, è questo il campo di gioco sul quale Matthew Shipp e Joe Morris giocano la loro partita a a scacchi. Perché Broken Partials è tutto un muovere di pedine, di mosse ardite, di spostamenti improvvisi, di ribaltamenti imprevisti, di strategie sofisticate. E di grande musica. Una registrazione ...
Matthew Shipp: Shipp Shape
by Chris Rich
Pianist Matthew Shipp is very keenly attuned to the details and nuances of what has to be the most forlorn and anemic environment imaginable for anything a sensible person would call business. Think of it as the sort of business ecosystem that resembles the least habitable places on earth, say a fumarole at the bottom of ...

Yes. But Is It Jazz?
by Mark Corroto
Jazz comes at you from so many directions these days, that to rely on just one definition, is not enough. Sure, it can be a blues-based rhythmic music but it is also minimalist free improvisation. Pigeonholing something, such as jazz, always separates and eventually segregates supporters, creating conflicts and in the end lessening the whole.
