 Genre bender - The Boston Globe
Gordon, who works in a small, wood-paneled office on the first floor (which Thirsty Ear shares with Bartoli, an electrical contractor), and Shipp, who works mostly from his apartment in New York, are at the vanguard of the freshest movement in jazz since the fusion of the 1970s.

 Matthew Shipp Quartet Pastoral Composure (Thirsty Ear, 2000)
His playing might be the first to attract the untrained or undisciplined ear but it won’t distract listeners who want to focus on one or more of the other three.
Shipp is the director of this new line which in the words of Thirsty Ear founder Peter Gordon "will, hopefully, challenge, probe, excite, and perhaps even anger listeners as we try to strip away conventions with a new convention." Some writers are already saying that this release has done this.
In a review for allaboutjazz.com, Nils Jacobson says "Pastoral Composure ranks as one of the most significant works in the history of free jazz." This is probably going a bit far.

It’s a simultaneously evocative and hilarious setting, conjuring the Old West as a backdrop for music that often resonates like the soundtrack to a John Ford film; yet it’s a movie set, where one sometimes expects Captain Kirk and Spock to emerge from behind swinging bar doors, phasers set on stun, searching for Wyatt Earp.

 CD Review of DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid - Dubtometry on Thirsty Ear @ jazzreview.com
A sequel to DJ Spooky's Thirsty Ear recording OPTOMETRY is DUBTOMETRY, a new Thirsty Ear release.
Whereas the first is a means to formally introduce the spinning turntablistic mixing intentions of DJ Spooky, the second is a means for focusing the ear on a similar process that uses the sonic material of OPTOMETRY as the spine of an entirely different orientation that shifts to the intellect and the heart.
The incorporation of words from a rapper, a narrator, songs from a vocalist and a new host of sounds selected from other recordings endows this CD with a slant that renders it political and international.

That's been one of the real joys of Thirsty Ear in recent years.
