Our Take

Matthew Shipp's latest album, "The Piano Equation," is a mathematical masterpiece that equals pure musical genius. From the opening notes of "Prelude," Shipp takes listeners on a journey through complex chord progressions and mind-bending melodies.

As an experienced pianist with decades in the jazz scene, Shipp's prowess shines through on tracks like "Symbol Systems" and "Deep To Deep." His unique blend of avant-garde techniques and traditional jazz stylings creates a sound that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

But don't let the complexity of the music fool you - "The Piano Equation" is a fun and quirky romp through the limitless possibilities of the piano. Tracks like "Cube Interval" and "The Indefinite" showcase Shipp's playful side, with jaunty rhythms and unexpected twists and turns.

Overall, "The Piano Equation" is a tour de force of modern jazz piano, cementing Matthew Shipp's status as a musical legend. So grab your protractor and calculator, because this album is a formula for musical success that equals pure magic.
