Description
Matthew Shipp is recognized for having forged a unique pianistic language within an expansive body of work that bridges the avant-garde tradition with 21st-century sonic landscapes, expanding the expressive possibilities of jazz in the process.A renowned master of the double bass & composition, William Parker is also recognized for his lifelong dedication to free jazz - as spiritual practice and community-building force - work that has ensured the continuity of an essential art form and fostered a supportive ecosystem for generations of creative musicians.Shipp's career launched after moving to New York City, where he immediately sought out Parker. A defining period in both of their musical lives was membership in the David S. Ware Quartet, hailed as one of the premier bands in jazz history. At the same time, both began building their own landmark & now far-ranging discographies as leaders - often working together.A Whole System Of is their brand new Duo creation; only their fourth such album in this form. Celebrating their four-decade-spanning collaboration on a boundless range of work, the intimacy of duo puts to fore the consummate magic of their deeply developed communion.
