Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium
by Kurt Gottschalk
Matthew Shipp has done a praiseworthy thing with an odd outcome in his Blue Series for the Thirsty Ear record label. Shipp has overseen the creation of an important and identifiable sound, a label in the classic sense of old Blue Note and Impulse! records which appealed to the listener by offering a dependable product with ...
Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium
by Richton Guy Thomas
Equilibrium represents the second collaboration between pianist Matthew Shipp and electronic expert FLAM, after last year's successful Nu Bop. The lineup is the same, except reed man Daniel Carter is replaced by vibraphonist Khan Jamal, who adds a sense of heightened continuity to the quartet's sound. The opening number, “Equilibrium,” is a splendid example ...
Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium

If the winds of change are any signal, there's a storm ahead. Pianist Matthew Shipp, brought out of retirement by Thirsty Ear's offer to become artistic director of its Blue Series imprint, has been waving flags right and left.

Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium

The musical explorations of Matthew Shipp in this new century remind one of similar investigations by Miles Davis forty years ago. Back then, Miles explored modal jazz and his audience followed.

Matthew Shipp String Trio: By The Law Of Music
by Glenn Astarita
This is a reissue of the original 1996 Hat Art recording. Yet, pianist Matthew Shipp has gone on to release umpteenth solo outings besides his intermittent performances with bassist William Parker and violinist Mat Maneri. Other than the trio’s rather abstract rendition of Duke Ellington’s “Solitude,” Shipp composed the remaining twelve pieces. They ...
Matthew Shipp: Songs
by Jon Wagner
A recent blockbuster art show at MoMA featured the German artist Gerhard Richter. Richter works in a variety of mediums, and his work takes different forms -- from a representational, pictorial style to a totally abstract expressionist, non-pictorial style. But Richter's work bears his strong stamp whether he's going figurative or freer. One group of paintings ...
Matthew Shipp: Songs

In a jazz world dominated by tradition, a few restless musicians stand out as pure idiosyncrasy. Pianist Matthew Shipp is one of these rare people.
