I saw pianist Matthew Shipp in concert last night (April 1, 2010) in Troy, NY, as part of a series put on by the Sanctuary for Independent Media and the Arts Center of the Capital Region. It was a powerful and relentless show, and it inspired a poem called Gravity, which you can read at jasoncrane.org.
If you want to hear more from Matthew Shipp, he was my guest on The Jazz Session recently.
