| Opplysninger | Black Mystery School Pianists and Other Writings is a collection of essays and prose poems from acclaimed pianist and visionary Matthew Shipp. Downbeat magazine has described Shipp as “the connection between the past, present and future for jazzheads of all ages” and as “a musician who deserves a place of choice in the jazz piano pantheon.” Shipp has written essays for a number of fanzines, blogs and magazines over the years and this collection touches on many subjects, including jazz, sports, the psychology and spirituality of improvisation, and 1980s New York dance culture. Introducing this book, visual artist and poet Yuko Otomo places Black Mystery School Pianists and Other Writings in the pantheon of books by artists writing about their art, lauding it as “a meticulously descriptive record of his creative process’s physical/metaphysical/alchemical mystery itself seen from the inside,” with “a peculiar and unique quality which does not exist in any art writing.”
