In FinlandJoe McPhee (Soprano Saxophone), Matthew Shipp (Piano), Dominic Duval (Bass)Wow! What a trio. If nothing else, on paper it looks interesting, albeit problematic. Well, that's what we thought. Much to our surprise we were bowled over by the music this improbable grouping produced. Three giants of uncompromised creative improvising music come together and in every way justify their reputations and then go on to produce a musical program that exceeds the sum of its illustrious parts. This is a very special result from an unexpected occasion.

Bendito of Santa CruzIvo Perelman (Tenor Saxophone), Matthew Shipp (Piano)Notable duets by two of the stronger post Bop personalities on the scene. They come from different perspectives but match up remarkably well. Hard to imagine but rewarding to listen to.
Catalog Number: CJR 1037
Sonic ExplorationsRob Brown (Alto Saxophone), Matthew Shipp (Piano)These are the first recordings of both Mr. Shipp and Mr. Brown. It’s a strong debut and the root of vast recording careers over the next few decades. Originally issued on LP, this CD issue retains the original 1988 interview with the players and supplies additional takes of “Oleo” and “Blue in Green.” Wonderful music and a historical document to boot.
