In another presentation by the tireless jazz promotions group Elysium Furnace Works, world-renowned pianist Matthew Shipp and his trio (with bassist Michael Bisio and drummer Newman Taylor Baker), here make a return jaunt to St. Andrew and Luke Episcopal Church. Shipp burst on the New York scene in the 1990s as a member of the David S. Ware Quartet and among his fans has counted David Bowie, Thurston Moore, Chan Marshall aka Cat Power, and Henry Rollins, who has released Shipp’s music on his 2.13.61 record label. The Matthew Shipp Trio’s latest offering is New Concepts in Piano Trio Jazz on ESP-Disk Records.
