Shipp,Matthew - Codebreaker 9/29/24 AF or what have you from

or what have you from Mother Earth on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles (or bought a Simmons mattress from Sears) in 1976

Good enough to make it up to #3 on the Billboard 200 album chart

and friends for the past fifteen years

They're all rivals

Shipp,Matthew - Codebreaker 9/29/24 AF or what have you fromVinyl LP pressing. Within the voluminous catalog that pianist Matthew Shipp has created over the last three and a half decades, his solo piano work has charted a unique and compelling pathway for the evolution of the instrument's vocabulary. On Codebreaker, that path turns yet another unexpected corner, continuing to venture further while taking a surprising turn inward. Codebreaker finds Shipp in an uncharacteristically meditative state of mind.
