Matthew Shipp: Harmony & Abyss

Read "Harmony & Abyss" reviewed by Sergio Masferrer


Matthew Shipp is a musician who can't be easily pigeon-holed. In fact, the only pigeon hole in which he could be placed is as one of the musicians who hold to the greenest and youngest branches of the jazz tree looking for fresh air. In addition to his work with David S. Ware, he has presented ...

Matthew Shipp: Harmony And Abyss

Read "Harmony And Abyss" reviewed by Mark Sabbatini


It's a fairly established music principle: Give Wayne Shorter a cheap student sax and he still sounds like a master. Give Ashlee Simpson a “booster" vocal and she still sounds awful. Gadgets and technology are great, in other words, but don't forget humility pills if the talent isn't there. Pianist Matthew Shipp digs deeper ...

Matthew Shipp: Harmony and Abyss

Read "Harmony and Abyss" reviewed by John Kelman


Following up pianist Matthew Shipp's Equilibrium, a breakthrough record in a career of musical high points, was clearly a difficult challenge. And, to be sure, as revolutionary as Shipp's career has been and as much a shift in direction as Equilibrium was, his new disk, Harmony and Abyss is more of an evolutionary record, taking the ...

Matthew Shipp

Read "Matthew Shipp" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Producer, composer, sideman, and soloist Matthew Shipp arrived in New York City 20 years ago, and in the interim has become arguably the most important player on the downtown avant-garde scene. Throughout the ‘90s, initially with the David S. Ware quartet, then as a leader most often with bassist William Parker at his side, Shipp recorded ...

Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium

Read "Equilibrium" reviewed by James Taylor


The buzz on Matthew Shipp's new recording was that it would be his greatest, most accessible, album to date. Accessible Equilibrium most certainly is, but greatness and accessibility for a free jazz artist should rarely be uttered in the same breath. The latest addition to Thirsty Ear Records' Blue Series, ...
