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
by AAJ Staff
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. His inner logic, as restless and angular as it might be, makes it impossible to plop him in any category. Within his own small groups, he has laid down some sublimely ...
Matthew Shipp: Nu Bop
by Mark Corroto

Matthew Shipp: Matthew Shipp's New Orbit
by Todd S. Jenkins
Well, Matthew Shipp has finally grabbed my ear and won’t let go. After several years of not quite knowing what to make of pianist Shipp’s avant-jazz creations, this new album has cleaned out the wax and got me to thinkin’. Maybe it’s the gripping presence of Wadada Leo Smith, who replaced the less accessible (but assuredly ...
Matthew Shipp: Matthew Shipp's New Orbit
by AAJ Staff
Step into the temple. Leave your busy frenzy behind. This is a place to respect and honor the higher power. Matthew Shipp's second Thirsty Ear record since his temporary “retirement" at age 38 pays open tribute to the interstellar spirituality of Coltrane and Ra. New Orbit is a somber, gothic affair bearing some similarity in tone ...
