Shipp, Matthew - Piano Vortex
SKU
17-THIRSTYEAR57180
"Matthew Shipp, stepping away from his electronic proclivities, delves deep into the original format that first gave birth to the very idea of jazz itself: the absolute freedom of an acoustic session. Joined by Whit Dickey on drums and Joe Morris on Bass, Matthew's compositions ring with fresh new material that shows his expansive musical vocabulary. His trademark piano playing is, as always beyond par, and the bass/drum interplayu is nothing short of a deep musical conversation. But the real star is Shipp and his piano. This album is a testament to Shipp's uncontended mastery of the instrument. A must for all fans of 'the real jazz'"
"One of the most enjoyable, concentrated and potent outings I've heard from Shipp."-John Corbett/Downbeat
