Thirsty Ear

American pianist, Matthew Shipp, was born on December 7th, 1960 in Wilmington, Delaware. With a passion for music from an early age, he began playing the piano at just six years old. Shipp honed his skills at the New England Conservatory of Music under esteemed mentors and cites their influence as formative to his career. In 1984, he made the move to New York City to launch his music career.

Shipp's talent as a bandleader became evident when he recorded his first album in 1988 alongside *a309661*. While primarily known for his work in free jazz, Shipp has also ventured into classical and hip-hop genres throughout his illustrious career.

His unique style and versatility have drawn comparisons to other notable artists such as *Roscoe Mitchell*, *Wadada Leo Smith*, and *Anthony Braxton*. With a discography that spans various collaborations and solo projects, Matthew Shipp continues to captivate audiences with his innovative approach to music.

Matthew Shipp: "This being a solo CD, the main focus is to make the piano come alive and to be a direct extension of my spirit-psyche and body. The piano here is vascular-cut it and it will bleed. When you listen to this recording you are directly listening to my brain waves and in some cases on this CD I feel I have transcended the instrument and am dealing with pure brain waves or lets say cosmic pulse."
