Matthew Shipp Trio

[clifford_thornton]

The worst album ever? If you didn't know any better, you might think so...

[relyles]

Obviously that recording was assigned to an inappropriate reviewer. I do not get the sense that he had much of an appreciation for free jazz at the time of the review.

[clifford_thornton]

Clearly... the thing is they pay people to write for the site, last time I checked...

[JSngry]

They should get their money back for this one.

amg is always not reliable and i often guess that those albums with three stars but no review are rated by someone who indeed listen none of the tracks of the album.

[mjazzg]

just makes me want to hear it.

Mainly as it's a Shipp album i wasn't aware of

Many free jazz recordings are unlistenable. ...

Yeah, clearly not the appropriate reviewer for this music.

[mjazzg]

And many Free Jazz reviews are unreadable....

[Rosco]

Wow. I'd rather read a Scott Yanow review, which is saying something.

[clifford_thornton]

Hah, yeah, true... I actually haven't heard that particular Shipp release, so I'll have to put it in queue.
