Elastic Aspects , Friday, March 9, 2012 - 8:00pm Matthew Shipp Trio Record Release Celebration Matthew Shipp, piano Michael Bisio, bass Whit Dickey , drums , Ars Nova Workshop for the Philadelphia debut of the Matthew Shipp Trio. Following 2011's spectacular The Art Of The Improviser LP, tonight Shipp's Trio celebrates the upcoming release of Elastic Aspects on Thirsty Ear Recordings. “It is listening to Matthew Shipp’s work that has always been a reminder to me that real jazz music—no matter how refined or complex it can be—relies primarily on guts,” wrote Henry Rollins when Ars Nova Workshop asked the punk-rock icon to comment on his longtime friend on the eve of Shipp's last Philadelphia performance in October, 2010. Rollins goes on to emphasize the startling physicality of Shipp's uncompromising playing—sometimes elegant and sometimes brutal, Shipp slams and seduces the keys unlike any other jazz pianist to create a delightfully aural and stunningly visual event. Shipp's played piano since he was 5-years-old, studied at the New England Conservatory of Music with saxophonist Joe Maneri, and cut his teeth working with Roscoe Mitchell and David S. Ware. He's since worked with many leading jazz musicians, including William Parker, Khan Jamal and Joe Morris. His most recent recording is The Art Of The Improviser—a double-LP showcasing one side of solo pieces and another with his trio featuring bassist Michael Bisio and Whit Dickey. The trio formed in 2009, though the three have worked with each other in various configurations over the years—Dickey worked in trio with Shipp and William Parker, and also alongside Shipp in David S. Ware's Quartet. Bassist Bisio's been on the scene since the early 1980s, working over the years with Joe McPhee, John Tchicai and Marilyn Crispell. Following their debut recording in 2011, the trio is set to release a series of new compositions and improvisations on Thirsty Ear Recordings titled Elastic Aspects, which they will perform tonight.

Brought to a group level,interdependence and empathy coexist with crisp logic---shipp, bisio and dickey continue to refine their art 4.village voice--pazz and jop poll  even thou elastic aspects is not out yet it received some points in this prestigious poll

Ronald Shannon Jackson USA

Ronald Shannon Jackson as a teenager took part in regular sessions of accompanying musicians from Ray Charles. He studied history and sociology in Texas, Missouri and Connecticut . Mid 60s he came under a music scholarship to New York City, where he was involved in Albert Ayler's legendary free-jazz recordings. Jackson is notable for his unusual approach to his instrument, which draws as much inspiration from military and parade bands as from traditional jazz drumming. He is the only person to have recorded and performed with the three prime shapers of free jazz : pianist Cecil Taylor and saxophonists Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler.

Mikołaj Trzaska: saxophones, bass clarinet, Steve Swell: trombone, Per-Ake Holmlander: bass horn, Tim Daisy: drums
Project of Polish saxophonist and clarinetist Mikołaj Trzaska.Together with Chicago drummer Tim Daisy and  New York trombonist Steve Swell,  Mikolaj Trzaska played concerts in Germany, Poland and USA and the other Swedish musician tuba player Per-Ake Holmlander. All the musicians are members of Resonance, project of american saxophone player and composer Ken Vandermark.  The music of this peculiar quartet is nothing else but the continuation of old tradition of improvised jazz broadened with a fresh view of contemporary musicians from different countries of the world. The quartet combines various traditions: jazz, sonority and contemporary music. When these traditions meet a new intimate music world is generated. The main idea of the group is a new form of acoustic instruments dialogue. During improvisation the musicians use different types of musical narration, from the role of accompanists who build complicated compositional structures out of individual phrases to the role of soloists. Thanks to the search for sound combinations the borders between instruments disappear. It often seems as if the group processed the music digitally but in reality the musicians use only acoustic sounds. The expression of the trio is also surprising. The dynamics vary between very delicate details to very strong, almost rock accents.  All musicians of the trio have something in common – each of them created his own language of expression used in improvisation. And although the instrumental lineup is totally acoustic the music of the quartet sounds very modern, musicians use unique techniques of playing.

Blues from Poland ? Possibly the last place you'd expect to hear blues coming from. Magda has a great bluesy voice, and you'd never guess that she was from Eastern Europe - although you might guess at Mississippi or Tennessee.

Over thousands of years of existence on earth, Humans have instituted controls to limit the rate of musical language development. An emphasis on repetition and re-gurgitation of ‘genres/musical styling’ have distorted our perception and curtailed extensive exploration of the potential of sound. The sound and roles instruments play as have remained the same for thousands of years. A new sonic language is imminent. Look at the dramatic changes occurring. There is an “Black hole” opening. A “NEW (sound) LANGUAGE” is imminent! Not acoustic, not electric, not primitive but a merging of all these dimensions. BB&T “New Language”, pioneer a fresh concept of sonic media…a new, unique approach to improvised music. “New Language” is developing a new sound dialogue understood by all entities throughout the galaxy. Since time without beginning, into cosmos…not past, not present nor future... NOW! Is the time for the BB&T “New Language” sound experiments.
