In a perfect world this collection of 11 songs from 10 albumswould be pop music classics from terrestrial radio or evenInternet radio. But jazz’s days as a populace art form arelong gone. So leave it to jazz’s A-1 provocateur MatthewShipp to come up with a “Greatest Hits” concept in 2013.What the hell?One of the most consistently brilliant pianists of his generation,Matthew Shipp’s career didn’t begin in 2000 with theBlue Series, but this album certainly is the summation of ajourney he took by leaving New England Conservatory ofMusic and moving to New York City in 1984.The songs picked were standouts in their time, singled out inreviews, played on jazz or college radio, or even based onthe response Shipp got when he played them live.The singular energy Shipp brings to the piano easilymatches that of a sweaty punk band, but it’s more than just visceral: from reflective and melodic PastoralComposure to beats and programming on Equilibrium, the music of Matthew Shipp is broad and open andapproachable. It’s all proof positive that whenever Matt Shipp touches a piano, he leaves his fingerprints onthe keys.
