[ June the 20th, 2025 release on TAO Forms: Ivo Perelman with Matthew Shipp String Trio – Armageddon Flower ]
Matthew Shipp String Trio reconvenes to commune with tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman for the epic Armageddon Flower to be released by TAO Forms on June 20, 2025
★★★★ “Throughout the album, the quartet achieves something rare: they balance abstraction with emotional directness…. Armageddon Flower is a sound painting that evolves in real time. A meditation on spontaneity, unity and expression. In its openness, its refusal to impose order where none is needed, it echoes that distant ancestor painting animals on a cave wall. Both acts—ancient and modern —are driven by the same impulse: to capture what is fleeting, to express what is felt and to connect through something beyond words.” – Mark Corroto, All About Jazz
“…Armageddon Flower is a truly successful musical challenge that opens up a whole other dimension.” – Jean-Michel Van Schaumburg, Ornyx-ImprovandSounds

[ Brighton Alternative Jazz Festival 2018 – The Full Blast DAY! ]
Coming tomorrow , all day Brighton Alternative Jazz Festival 2018 marathon is looking really good and full of treasures. Those long time recognised, but still not that easy to hear too often, as well as promising new-comers. For the ticket price I call it a steal! Repertoire wise it is absolutely “Carte d’or” for every improvised (and not only) music fan.
