"My relationship with Richie Beirach is the longest from the late 1960s evolving into my first group as a leader, “Lookout Farm” followed in the ‘80s by “Quest.” This duo emphasizes the deep harmonic relationship that we have developed over the years combining aspects of the 20th century modern classical language and jazz into what is considered by many a very classic and individual approach." --David Liebman

An innovative composer who and excellent understanding of music theory , always pushing the limits to find new tonality, Harmony, improvisation and minimalism. The trio will perform his new Cd Names Elastic Aspects (Thirsty Ear), a work developed as a suite for the trio of Shipp, bassist Michael Bisio and drummer Whit Dickey.
"...A true original, incorporating not only the history of jazz piano but also the hypnotic repetition of minimalism. He is an 'idea man,' but not merely a musical intellectual - his music offers challenges aplenty while demonstrating wit and passion." (Bill Tilland, BBC.com)
