Matthew Shipp - ART OF THE IMPROVISER

Matthew Shipp -]|[- THE ART OF THE IMPROVISER (2xCD) – [Thirsty Ear, 2011]

“The Art of the Improviser”, a 2XCD, is Shipp’s most audacious attempt yet to answer the enigmatic question of what it means to be a modern jazz musician. Already having explored the possibilities of electronically infused jazz on critically acclaimed projects with the likes of DJ Spooky, Scanner, and Anti-Pop Consortium, Shipp revisits an acoustic sound for this fearless voyage into the psyche of the improviser.

Shipp’s “idiosyncratic genius” shines through on this album, explaining once again why he is “well on his way to becoming one of the timeless giants of jazz’ (Jazz-iz). –Amazon.com

Scheduled Release Date: February 22, 2011

Shipp’s work is very sophisticated, I think the appropriate comparison to Miles Davis, although his work does not have the same weight as the work of Miles, his sound is always seeking something new, looking to expand.
