ALL THINGS ARE is the very first musical encounter between Nicole Mitchell and Matthew Shipp, two great musicians with already very rich backgrounds. It happened as quickly as simply; a shared desire, a date set for the recording session on a scorching afternoon, four musicians who are immediately so close that there will be only one shot for each piece. We expected a lot of this confrontation; the result goes far beyond.

How dare we spend so much valuable energy answering such questions as "What is Jazz?".

JUST LISTEN!
