Home » Jazz Articles » Album Review » Ivo Perelman & Matthew Shipp String Trio: Armageddon Flower Imagine our earliest ancestors huddled deep inside a cave, safe from the howling wind and stalking predators outside. A fire flickers at the center, casting erratic shadows onto the jagged walls. Among the tribe, someone watches those shadows—not with fear, but with imagination.
