by Maurice Hogue
When a highly respected saxophonist like David Binney recommends a young up-and-coming musician, I tend to pay attention. Los Angeles trombonist Logan Kane and his Nonet live up to the tip on his new Nope, Science, one of the featured new releases hitting this week. Also of great interest are albums from the much-admired trumpeter Ambrose ...
Matthew Shipp String Trio: Symbolic Reality
by John Sharpe
Pianist Matthew Shipp's String Trio reunites three familiar collaborators whose paths cross in multiple settings.

Friends who want want to swing but in a just-out, avant way. It's where their heads are at the moment ...
Matthew Shipp: Poetic Connection

When multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, bassist William Parker and pianist Matthew Shipp met for an esoteric evening of discussion and music at Tufts University in 2017, the net result was Seraphic Light (AUM Fidelity, 2018).
