Longtime friends and musical collaborators, pianist Matthew Shipp and drummer Whit Dickey have released Reels, a collection of improvised duos recorded in March 2019 in New York. Shipp and Dickey’s musical relationship goes back to the early 1990s, when they were both members of the late saxophonist David S. Ware’s quartet. This is their first stand-alone duo album.
“Reels illustrates the intimate and expansive rapport that Shipp and Dickey have developed over three decades, one methodical and intuitive.” — DownBeat
“…just when it feels like the duo are settling into a groove, they pull the rug from under us with stumbling rhythms and manic rushes…a brilliant example of their fluidity and speed of thought” — The Wire
Limited edition of 500 CDs in heavy-duty tip-on style gatefold mini-LP sleeve.
