[ 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
[ January the 21st, 2022 release via TUM Records: Andrew Cyrille, William Parker, Enrico Rava – 2 Blues for Cecil ]

2 Blues For Cecil brings together three legends of modern improvised music, drummer Andrew Cyrille, bassist William Parker and flugelhornist Enrico Rava, in a tribute to the late, great pianist and bandleader Cecil Taylor (1929-2018). Although the three played together for the first time as members of this trio, they share a common bond through their separate time spent performing and recording with Taylor.
