Our Take

MATTHEW SHIPP / MAT MANERI / WILLIAM PARKER - By The Law

In a world where jazz can sometimes feel like a never-ending maze of complicated time signatures and obscure references, Matthew Shipp, Mat Maneri, and William Parker are here to remind us that music should ultimately be about one thing: grooving.

By The Law is a masterclass in chemistry, with each member of this trio bouncing off each other like an old married couple finishing each other's sentences. Shipp's piano playing is intricate yet soulful, Maneri's violin adds a touch of elegance, and Parker's bass provides a solid foundation for it all to come together.

From the upbeat swing of "The New Mic" to the haunting melodies of "Blue Abyss," each track on this album feels like a journey through a different dimension of the jazz universe. It's like stepping into a time machine and travelling through the history of the genre, with Shipp, Maneri, and Parker as your trusty guides.

So, if you're looking for an album that will make you tap your feet, snap your fingers, and maybe even bust a move or two, look no further than By The Law. This is jazz for the people, by the people, and most importantly, for the pure joy of making music. Don't let this one slip through the cracks - it's a shining gem in the crowded landscape of modern jazz.

Verdict: 9/10 - Get ready to groove like it's 1959 all over again.
