New York City-based pianist, MATTHEW SHIPP, has collaborated with, among others, David S. Ware, William Parker, Joe Morris, Roscoe Mitchell, Matt Maneri, Darius Jones, Michael Bisio, and Gerald Cleaver. Downbeat describes Shipp as “the connection between the past, present and future for jazzheads of all ages” and as “a musician who deserves a place of choice in the jazz piano pantheon.” He is the author of the book “Black Mystery School Pianists and Other Writings” which was published earlier this year. Shipp’s latest solo piano recording is “The Cosmic Piano” on Cantaloupe Music.
