A nice record."Kelsey Chris album mw0000022505 Matthew Shipp – 2-Z: Review March 13, 2014 The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the album "is a meeting of generations, and Shipp sounds respectful and happy to take second place for much of it, constantly searching for some normative path that might hint at a tonal centre".
