ALLEN, CLIFFORD - Singularity Codex: Matthew Shipp On Rogueart

"Over the course of 200 pages Singularity Codex presents the work of Matthew Shipp and his numerous collaborators within the broader jazz and free music continuum, and covers in detail the pianist's 25 current/forthcoming albums for RogueArt (and one book with poet Steve Dalachinsky). Neither a strict biography nor a discography, this volume includes numerous interviews, photographs, and aesthetic meditations that frame the music, its connections, and surrounding philosophy and history. Whether or not you are familiar with Shipp and his work, this book is a fascinating read. 210 pages, with English Interviews of William Parker, Rob Brown, Whit Dickey, Joe Morris, Yuko Otomo, Michel Dorbon, and Jim Clouse." - Rogueart .
