Matthew Shipp Quartet - Knives from Heaven [CD]

As brilliant showers of collaboration from Antipop Consortium and Matthew Shipp KNIVES FROM HEAVEN is an unmitigated glimpse into the imaginations of musical madmen. On this sequel to the critically acclaimed Blue Series project Matthew Shipp vs. Antipop Consortium, the two sides spurn stale hip-hop-jazz paradigms and embark on an astounding sonic odyssey. KNIVES FROM HEAVEN achieves incredible stylistic integration through the unprecedented assimilation of spontaneous jazz embellishments into the format of head-nodding hip-hop cuts.
