Matthew Shipp
was born December 7, 1960
in Wilmington, Delaware. He started piano at 5 years old with the regular piano
lessons most kids have experienced. He fell in love with jazz at 12 years old.
After moving to New York in 1984 he quickly became one of the leading lights in
the New York jazz scene. He was a sideman in the David S. Ware quartet and also
for Roscoe Mitchell’s Note Factory before making the decision to concentrate on
his own music.
Mr Shipp has reached the
holy grail of jazz in that he possesses a unique style on his instrument that
is all of his own- and he’s one of the few in jazz that can say so. Mr. Shipp
has recorded a lot of albums with many labels but his 2 most enduring
relationships have been with two labels. In the 1990s he recorded a number of
chamber jazz cds with Hatology, a group of cds that charted a new course for
jazz that, to this day, the jazz world has not realized. In the 2000s Mr Shipp
has been curator and director of the label Thirsty Ear’s „Blue Series” and has
also recorded for them. In this collection of recordings he has generated a
whole body of work that is visionary, far reaching and many faceted.
Matthew Shipp is truly one
of the leading lights of a new generation of jazz giants.
Sabir Mateen is one of the central persons of the New
York improvisers scene. Gradually evolving from alto
to tenor saxophone, he has been through a number of musical transformations. He
has or is performing with Cecil Taylor, Sunny Murray, William Parker, Alan
Silva, Butch &Wilber Morris, Raphe Malik, Steve Swell, Mark Whitecage, Roy
Campbell, Matthew Shipp, Marc Edwards, Jemeel Moondoc, William Hooker, Henry
Grimes, Rashid Bakr, Kali Fasteau and numerous others. www.sabirmateen.com
