Off-beat, but very approachable4
I was more aware of Matthew Shipp's reputation than his piano playing, so I bought "Harmonic Disorder" to remedy that. A straight piano trio album, "Harmonic Disorder" has 12 originals and two standards. The standards, "There Will Be Another You" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" are recognizable, but appealingly fractured. The originals are varied - some hearken to Cecil Taylor or 'math rock', and some are more inline with the jazz tradition. They are mostly pretty catchy or approachable since Shipp is not afraid of repeating the hook. That provides a base for understanding the groups flights of fancy in the middle sections. The end result is a pretty good piano trio CD.
