Reception
[edit | edit source]
In his review for AllMusic, Paula Edelstein states "New Orbit is an excellent delivery of avant-garde and free jazz that remains uncompromising, unrelenting, and totally individual."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "The music is becoming more obviously accessible, yet more mysterious at the same time - a fascinating agenda."[3]
The Pitchfork review by Matt LeMay states "With New Orbit, Matthew Shipp has crafted an album that manages to merge the accessibility and raw appeal of Pastoral Composure with adventurous new textures that go beyond anything he has produced in the past."[4]
In his review for PopMatters, Andrew Johnson notes "Clocking in at a little under forty minutes, one of the most attractive aspects of Matthew Shipp's New Orbit is its brevity and focus."[5]
