Ivo Perelman & Matthew Shipp String Trio – Armageddon Flower
The seminal Matthew Shipp String Trio reconvened in late 2024 in order to commune with tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman in studio. Armageddon Flower is the epic result.
"A profound offering, created by four master improvisers, that challenges and elevates the very notion of what jazz, and art itself, can be .. This is, without a doubt, a masterwork. It is a towering summit of musical dialogue, shaped by four artists whose individual careers already read like seismic events in contemporary music."
