drums will be closing out February with two days of performance at Jazz Standard to celebrate the release of Elastic Aspects on Thirsty Ear Records.

There will be two shows each night at 7:30 and 9:30 with a cover charge of $20.00 for each show.

“Elastic Aspects is a well-considered condensation of Shipp's most recent works, and then some. In a time of sonic inflation—when a wheelbarrow of music is needed to buy a single pair of willing ears, and as pirates hover to steal it straight out of the gate —this release was born with some trepidation and its like may not be forthcoming any time soon." —Chris Rich, All About Jazz

Join Mr. Shipp and crew for what promises to be a New York highlight of a weak withering winter. A filming session recently concluded with Barbara Januskiewicz for what will become 'The Composer' and the oncoming year is beginning to hold the promise of fruitful opportunities.
