DJ Spooky with Mad Professor: Dubtometry
by Mark Corroto
Did you catch that sample of Chef from Apocalypse Now in the remix of DJ Spooky’s Optometry ? Not Dennis Hopper or Marlon Brando, but the crazed boatmen who transport Martin Sheen up the river and into the heart of darkness are sampled here. There have to be cosmic implications for quoting Apocalypse Now, ...
Antipop Consortium: Antipop Vs. Matthew Shipp
by AAJ Staff
Vs. has a most interesting aim: a direct collision between hip-hoppers Antipop Consortium and free jazzer Matthew Shipp. We've seen beats applied to jazz records, various forms of studio manipulation, and the application of rhythmic vocals alongside improvisation. So what is new here? The straightforward collision, essentially. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. ...
Antipop Consortium / Matthew Shipp: Antipop Consortium vs. Matthew Shipp
by Farrell Lowe
When I walked into the record shop to buy this album, the staff was playing it over the sound system.

I came away from ...

The opening number, “Equilibrium,” is a splendid example ...
Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium
by AAJ Staff
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. Last year's Nu Bop signaled his vision of out jazz combined with studio production; its infectious accessibility ...
Matthew Shipp: Equilibrium
by Mark Corroto
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. He played third stream music, a combination of jazz and classical, and lifted his audience, as all of us wanted to explore Spanish music after ...
