Tom McCarter
Shipp, Matthew Trio
Piano Song
Genre: Jazz
Review: Prolific pianist plays on a lot of avant-garde jazz recordings, but on this outing, he is playing straight ahead for the most part and it is a terrific set. I have highlighted my favorites, but the whole set is stellar.
FCCs: none
If You Like: Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver, McCoy Tyner
Favorite Tracks: 2/ Cosmopolitan 4/ Silence Of 7/ Microwave 8/ Mind Space
