MATTHEW
SHIPP / MAT WALERIAN DUO – THE UPPERCUT LIVE AT OKUDEN
The reed
work of Mat Walerian really warms up the piano of Matthew Shipp here – as Mat
provides these beautiful lines on alto, bass clarinet, flute, and soprano
clarinet – which have a resonant quality that really seems to open up Shipp's
music too! We've really moved back towards enjoying Shipp in recent years – and
the sense of persona in records like this is a good reason why – almost a
renewed soul that we haven't heard in years, unlocked in the right setting like
this. Titles include "Black Rain", "It's Sick Out There",
"Blues For Acid Cold", "Free Bop Statement One", and
"Love & The Other Species".

OLIVER
LAKE / WILLIAM PARKER – TO ROY
Beautiful
duets between Oliver Lake and William Parker – dedicated to the late Roy
Campbell, and a wonderful tribute to his genius! This may well be one of the
best performances we've heard from Lake in years – a clear, clean, unfettered
way to really return to his strengths on alto sax – next to these warm, round
basslines from Parker that are always a treat – but which again, seem to have
even more power here than on other recent albums. Most tunes are originals,
written by either of the pair – and the match of souls and spirits is
tremendous throughout. Titles include "Check", "Victor
Jara", "Variation On A Theme Of Marvin Gaye", "To
Roy", "Light Over Still Water Paints A Portrait Of God", and "Bonu". ~ Dusty Groove
