Free and avant-garde jazz are the catchall genres in which Matthew Shipp forged his success. Since the early 90s, the pianist living in New York has searched for and found HIS voice. As he’s always said, “living in my era, I can’t be John Coltrane or Sun Ra. I have to create something new, relevant to today’s world.”. Many have described him as the spiritual son of Cecil Taylor. A rather simplistic lineage, as Shipp plays with textures and tones differently from his elder. Very much like his unruly peers Marilyn Crispell and Myra Melford, his piano style borrows from various sources. It’s not exclusively percussive and it sometimes leans towards Bud Powell, Andrew Hill or Herbie Nichols… He proves this once again with this trio album alongside bass player Michael Bisio and drummer Newman Taylor Baker. Recorded in a single take in July 2018, Signature is an impeccable improvised rodeo trip. An hour of turbulence in which the three pilots steadily maintain the course. In fact, Shipp and his rhythmics have so much to say that a single listen isn’t nearly enough to take it all in. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
