Here are five very different piano recordings that show how jazz improvisation at the keyboard can shine today: Matt Mitchell, Denny Zeitlin, Sullivan Fortner, Michael Wolff, and Matthew Shipp
Thanks for writing this - am familiar with Mitchell (but not that album) and Shipp's Cosmic Piano which should have gotten way more attention than the drop in the ocean that it received.
Thanks for reading the piece, Marshall. I thinking’s hard for folks (me included) to keep up with all of Matt Shipp’s output. I like almost all of it but feel compelled to cover only selected titles because the flow overwhelms me!
Mitchell has a duet album with Sara Serpa coming out soon. Fabulous.
