Beans: Only
by David A. Cobb
Arguably the best thing about jazz is its lack of definition. Like punk rock, almost anything can be considered jazz--as long as there is an element of “the real" throughout the music. Antipop Consortium member/rapper Beans uses this to his advantage on Only, again experimenting with pushing the boundaries of modern jazz and hip-hop. He fuses ...
Beans: Only
by James Taylor
A recent AAJ article, bitterly titled What the F*** Happened To Black Popular Music," made issue with the state of black music today, specifically calling out rappers and DJs for, in the author's mind, their degenerative attempts at artistry.

The album, the latest release in Thirsty Ear's Blue Series (for which Shipp does A&R work), consists of nothing but a man and his piano, and ...
Matthew Shipp: One
by Nic Jones
It might be argued that the solo piano recital is a fraught thing on record, and certainly there have been examples in the past where self-indulgence has taken over from the rigours of self-editing. Similarly, unless a pianist has at least a reasonably firm musical identity, it might be the case that the listener's attention starts ...
