I've Been To Many Places

Matthew Shipp's latest finds him revisiting music from his past for the second time in as many years, but the record possesses an immediacy that eschews sentimental reflection. Pulsing and bubbling with focused drive, I’ve Been to Many Places focuses more on where Shipp’s mind is at the moment than where it’s been in the past.

For pianist/composer Matthew Shipp, the answer is "no."
