SAMPLES

Art of the Improviser, a dual set of live recordings, celebrates Shipp's talents in two traditional settings. The first is a recording of Shipp with his trio (bassist Michael Bisio and longtime cohort Whit Dickey on drums), captured at The Arts Center of the Capital Region, in Troy New York. The second disc has Shipp performing solo at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York city. Both shows took place in the spring of 2010.

Shipp's art of the improviser continues to shake the jazz world Westword ''shipp has one of the most unique playing styles in music.'' Denver post ''he has formed a style that would appear to owe very little to those that came before him-that's a problem when writing about his music but it won't detract from the enjoyment of his approach if the listener puts history aside.'' Kuvo--jazz notes ''will allow you to play alice exploring a wonderland of sound--simply put shipp exemplifies the art of the improviser'' Downbeat-4 1/2 stars ''the pieces develop with stunning ingenuity in order to seamlessly segue into the next--consequently,one witnesses the unfolding of a monumental work that befits a musician who deserves a place of choice in the jazz piano pantheon.'' Boston globe ''a galvanizing force--he has done more than just about any other figure of his generation to uphold and advance a jazz aesthetic built upon free improvisation'' read more Popmatters ''matthew shipp is a freak force of nature when he sits at the piano--shipp's improvisation skills can seriously give keith jarrett a run for his money'' wire ''shipp's demonstrating effectively that melody and harmony are part of the selfsame continuum--shipp takes evident delight in confounding expectations by transforming fly me to the moon into a lean two-part invention worthy of bach''

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.

Leonard Hayward - violin

BBT "New Language"
Joseph Bowie, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Jean-Paul Bourelly

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.

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.

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.
