Whit Dickey: Morph
by Karl Ackermann
Two players on Morph, Matthew Shipp and Nate Wooley, hardly need an introduction to those who venture into free jazz or experimental waters. But the leader, free jazz drummer Whit Dickey, is more of an enigma. Though prolific, his credits are more often in a supporting role. Dickey has been working with Shipp for nearly four ...
Matthew Shipp: Poetic Connection

Ware Quartet, a bandleader with a staggering recording output, a groundbreaking curator for the influential Blues Series of Thirsty Ear Records, Matthew Shipp has also more recently broken new ...

Parliamo naturalmente dei musicisti che mettono al primo posto del loro operato il fare artistico e non la realizzazione di un prodotto solo ben accetto sul mercato.

ob Brown was born in 1962 in Hampton VA. Rob took up the saxophone at age 12.

Rob moved to New York in 1984 and established the musical relationships that came to define his career
