Matthew Shipp hasn't played in L.A. for 4 years. We're honored to have him perform solo piano music here in Los Angeles. With his unique and recognizable style, pianist Matthew Shipp creates music in which free jazz and modern classical intertwine. He first became known in the early '90s as the pianist in the David S. Ware Quartet, and soon began leading his own dates. He has played most often with Ware bandmate and bassist William Parker, and has recorded a number of duets with a variety of musicians, from the legendary Roscoe Mitchell to violinist Matt Maneri. Through his range of live and recorded performances and unswerving individual development, Shipp has come to be regarded as a prolific and respected voice in creative music.
