On Sorcerer Sessions, longtime fans of Matthew Shipp will recognize the dense, jagged boulder chords and conceptions that defined his musical world prior to his temporary “retirement” at 38. His music often featured thick dark dramatic playing and compositions, a main course that became a seasoning on Shipp’s recent Thirsty Ear collaborations. Now the same Shipp ...
