The Flow of X is an album by the American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, recorded in 1995 and released on the 2.13.61 label. It features a quartet with violinist Mat Maneri, bassist William Parker and drummer Whit Dickey, the same lineup as the previous album Critical Mass. The liner notes include a piece by Shipp comparing boxing and jazz.[1]
Reception
[edit | edit source]
In his review for AllMusic, Charlie Wilmoth states that "Shipp plays rich, low-register chords and more acrobatic lines like a slightly more sedate Cecil Taylor."[3] The JazzTimes review by Josef Woodard notes that "this music is all about flow, the flow of dialogue and moods between sentient musicians and the flow of music with a decidedly free will."[5]
