          I saw Matthew Shipp and William Parker playing free jazz two
          weeks ago and it was the best thing I have seen in years…I  
          was nearly in tears. It was humbling."                      
          - Jason Pierce, founder of Spiritualized                    
                                                                      
          "Matthew Shipp has this cinematic drama because of the way  
          he keeps crunching and jarring the melody."                 
          - Herbie Hancock                                            
                                                                      
          Matthew Shipp's follow-up to the critically acclaimed, #1   
          CMJ jazz record, "New Orbit." Shipp set out to build a      
          platform of acoustic and electronic rhythm figures to serve 
          as a backdrop for a canvas of organic compositions based on 
          improvisational impulses.                                   
                                                                      
          For more than a decade, Shipp has broken barriers and genre 
          with his original style. In Nu Bop, he continues to         
          challenge the limits and preconceptions of jazz with this   
          explosive, beats-driven modern jazz recording.              
                                                                      
          Bassist William Parker takes on the unusual role as funk    
          meister. Reedman Daniel Carter turns in soaring performances
          that seem to defy gravity. And Guillermo E. Brown emerges by
          driving electronic beats with the best of modern drumming,  
          thereby defining of new era of percussion. Interwoven into  
          the fabric is Chris Flam's (DJ Spooky, A Guy Called Gerald) 
          programming insights and deft editing skills. It's not your 
          typical Matt Shipp album...   but then again, what is?
