Whit Dickey / Daniel Carter / Eri Yamamoto: Emergence
by John Sharpe
When the collective of drummer Whit Dickey, pianist Eri Yamamoto, and horn player Daniel Carter held sway at the Vision Festival in June 2009 they built tension to unbearable levels that built up to a cathartic resolution. On their first disc together, recorded in the studio four months prior to their Festival triumph, they program eight ...
Vijay Iyer Trio: Historicity
by Troy Collins
The art of the piano trio has enjoyed a healthy renaissance over the past two decades, as a plethora of new stars have ascended the ranks to uphold and advance the tradition. Ethan Iverson, Brad Mehldau, Jason Moran, and Matthew Shipp are just a few of the adventurous younger artists whose notion of the trio is ...
DJ Spooky: The Secret Song
by Mark Corroto
DJ Spooky again proves hip-hop is jazz. Like its grandfather bebop, mixologist/DJ/producer Paul Miller's (aka DJ Spooky) hip-hop is as vibrant and creative as the great revolutionaries in jazz. On The Secret Song he mixes dub, reggae, rock, classical, world, electronic and, well, jazz into a jazz thing. Spooky's reflections on the financial and world meltdown ...
Matthew Shipp: Un Piano
by AAJ Italy Staff
A una recente, peraltro ottima, esibizione di Matthew Shipp in trio, mi è capitato di cogliere il commento vagamente ironico di uno spettatore che sosteneva “beh, si poteva fare a meno della sezione ritmica, bastava come ha suonato da solo". L'annotazione, certamente ingenerosa sia nei confronti degli altri musicisti che verso l'attitudine all'interplay del pianista, è ...
Alexander Hawkins Ensemble at the Vortex, London
by John Sharpe
Alexander Hawkins Ensemble The Vortex London, England August 10, 2009 If you can judge a person by the company he keeps, then pianist Alexander Hawkins must be someone to watch given his musical associations, both actual and virtual. The packed house at the Vortex certainly thought so, confounding Hawkins' ...
Ben Neill: Night Science
by Mark Corroto
Miles Davis certainly smiled on musical innovations. Years ago, to keep up with the latest, all that was required was to check out what the late trumpeter was investigating. With Miles gone, the hunt maybe a bit more difficult, but then again Peter Gordon's Thirsty Ear label, under the creative direction of pianist Matthew Shipp, has ...
Icons Among Us: An Epic Jazz Documentary, Part 2
by Nick Catalano
Part 1 | Part 2 This seminal documentary continues on the second CD with a scene straight out of a typical Gotham jazz collaboration: singer Gretchen Parlato and pianist Aaron Parks are together in a NYC apartment working out a vocal arrangement. Gretchen is heard commenting on the vagaries of jazz singing and the ...
Mark O'Leary / Matthew Shipp: Labyrinth
by Glenn Astarita
Like impressionist painters, guitarist Mark O'Leary and pianist Matthew Shipp execute a colorific sequence of abstracts, consisting of semi-structured theme-building developments and free-form dialogues. With blitzing firepower, the duo also fuses nuance and temperance into the big picture. They dish out linear, micro-motifs amid subtle shadings, and fragmented exchanges, but O'Leary ups the ante during several ...
