Matthew Shipp Trio: Piano Song
by Karl Ackermann
Recent months in 2016 have seen the release of at least a half-dozen albums featuring Matthew Shipp including The Uppercut (ESP-Disk) with Polish reed player Mat Walerian, Live in Sant'Anna Arresi, 2004 (AUM Fidelity), a duo release with the late David S. Ware, the Bobby Kapp duo recording Cactus (Northern-Spy Records) and The Core Trio Live ...
2016: An Ivo Perelman Marathon
by Mark Corroto
The original marathoner, Pheidippides in 490 BC, is believed to have run from Marathon, where a battle was being fought, to Athens to inform an assembly that the Persians had been defeated. It certainly was quite the achievement, taking into account the sorry state of footwear at the time and lack of prepackaged gels and energy ...
David S. Ware/Matthew Shipp: Live in Sant’Anna Arresi, 2004
by Karl Ackermann
Describing David S. Ware as a maverick would be a gimmicky shortcut around the depth of the late saxophonist's vision. Outside of John Coltrane we have not seen a Ware contemporary with more depth of spirituality, presented in such a visceral way. Similarly, Matthew Shipp employs a type of unimaginable creative mysticism that transcends technique and ...
Whit Dickey/Kirk Knuffke: Fierce Silence
by John Sharpe
Whether through economic necessity or artistic preference cornetist Kirk Knuffke's discography suggests a penchant for duets. Recent entries include Row For William O (Relative Pitch, 2016) with bassist Michael Bisio and Moon with pianist/vibraphonist Karl Berger (NoBusiness, 2015). Fierce Silence with David S. Ware and Matthew Shipp alumnus Whit Dickey isn't even his first hook up ...
Whit Dickey/Kirk Knuffke: Fierce Silence
by Mark Corroto
The fitness instructor kept yelling, “feel the burn, feel the burn." After an hour of aerobic exercise, that was not a difficult task. A much easier and painless way to experience the same fire is to listen to just one track of Fierce Silence, a collection of improvised duos between drummer Whit Dickey and cornetist Kirk ...
Five By Five - More Love From Ivo Perelman
by Mark Corroto
2015 saw six releases by tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman. It's early in 2016, and we already have five new releases. At this pace, one can only hope for five more. Certainly, noting the combinations of players presented here and the high level of improvisation, there could easily be ten more sessions with ten different permutations. Or, ...
Matthew Shipp/Michael Bisio: Live in Seattle
by Mark Corroto
The Italian renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and scientist Michelangelo di Lodovico is often quoted, when referring to his 17-foot sculpted masterpiece David, “every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." The same thought comes to mind when two musical sculptors chip away at ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: The Conduct of Jazz
by John Sharpe
A glance at pianist Matthew Shipp's discography reveals that small group work has long been a focus. Indeed in recent times one of the prime outlets for his artistry is his classic piano trio, which ranks among the pre-eminent outfits in modern jazz. The Conduct Of Jazz represents Shipp's twelfth release in the format. Although there ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: The Conduct of Jazz
by Troy Collins
One of today's foremost pianists, Matthew Shipp has demonstrated the breadth of his artistry in numerous settings over his three decade career, including genre-defying electro-acoustic experiments. Recent years have found him narrowing his focus to concentrate on intimate acoustic efforts however, especially in one of the jazz tradition's most venerable formats--the classic piano trio.
Avvistamenti coltraniani
by Alberto Bazzurro
Se ci fosse bisogno di soppesare una volta di più quanto la memoria, le stimmate di John Coltrane siano ancora terribilmente di attualità ad ormai quasi mezzo secolo dalla sua comparsa, basterebbe mettere nel lettore questi cinque CD, incisi nel biennio che va dal giugno 2012 al giugno 2014 e messi sul mercato a seguire.
