Andrew Collier, Jon Crompton, Zwitschermaschine & More
by Maurice Hogue
Portuguese drummer Joao Lencastre's tune Departure seemed like the right track to end a show, but perhaps I saved the best for last as well. His new recording Parallel Realities is a gem. Lencastre says he likes to hear dramatic contrasts in music, so that was his focus and the tool was using smaller groups within ...
Whit Dickey/Tao Quartets: Peace Planet & Box of Light
by Don Phipps
Shimmering contrasts and flights of fancy await the listener of these fine sets of free playing put together by primary composer and drummer extraordinaire Whit Dickey. Available as a double album, Dickey's Tao Quartets' Peace Planet & Box of Light is really two separate albums. One, (Peace Planet ), features a quartet of Dickey, Matthew Shipp ...

Albert Beger, Gianni Lenoci, Gabriel Ferrandini & More
by Maurice Hogue
It would be easy to riff on the title of bassist André Carvalho's new recording, The Garden of Earthly Delights, and come up with a very apt theme for this episode, something like Three Hours of Amazing Musical Colours, or The Crayola Effect. From Carvalho's release, based on Hieronymous Bosch's painting to the vibrant pastels of ...
New York's 24th Annual Vision Festival
by Frank Rubolino
Although Europe has a plethora of creative improvised music festivals throughout the year, drawing on a large audience base of appreciative fans, one festival in the USA stands out as the beacon of hope and encouragement for this music in its native land. Now in its 24th year, New York's Vision Festival, presented by Arts for ...
Matthew Shipp Announces Presidential Campaign
by Mark Corroto
I like to think about Matthew Shipp's music in the same light as that of Eric Dolphy and Charlie Parker. If both artists, Bird and Dolphy, had the level of support from critics and listeners that they currently command while they were still alive, the pair would have been wealthy. Okay, that plus honest record companies ...
Ivo Perelman: Strings 1
by Mark Corroto
Try to keep up sports fans, Ivo Perelman has switched directions once again. It's not that he has quit music to become a soccer star. The tenor saxophonist has more recently taken a dive into string quartets, recording a dozen or so sessions with bowing, plucking, and pizzicato-minded musicians. Strings 1 is the introduction. If this ...
Whit Dickey, Mat Maneri, Matthew Shipp: Vessel in Orbit
by Giuseppe Segala
Il vascello in orbita, Vessel In Orbit, è un'immagine vivida per questa nuova realizzazione del batterista Whit Dickey, solista che fin dagli anni Novanta ha legato le proprie audaci navigazioni alla galassia del compianto David S. Ware, nel quartetto con Matthew Shipp al pianoforte e William Parker al contrabbasso. Sebbene il CD ponga sullo stesso piano ...
Matthew Shipp Quartet: Sonic Fiction
by Karl Ackermann
The ESP-Disk label simultaneously has released two distinctly different leader dates from Matthew Shipp. Zero is an excellent solo piano album, and here, we have Shipp's namesake quartet on the ten-track Sonic Fiction. The shared deference and camaraderie in this free-spirited outing allows for an appreciation of even the slightest details and distinctions--elements that can easily ...
Whit Dickey: Vessel in Orbit
by Don Phipps
From the first chord struck on “Spaceship 9" by pianist Matthew Shipp, Vessel in Orbit demonstrates the epitome of seasoned and extremely talented musicians improvising together. This trio, led by drummer Whit Dickey, provides musical compositions and improvisations that are at once eerie, dark, foreboding, yet hauntingly beautiful. The recording (engineered admirably by Jim ...
