Personnel includes: Oliver Lake (saxophone), Anthony Peterson (guitar), Pheeroan Ak Laff (drums).
Altoist Oliver Lake does some of his finest playing on this lesser-known quartet date. Lake displays his roots in Eric Dolphy on some selections (particularly "Fables for Faubus" and "The Prophet"), more in his tone than in the interval jumps. Other selections find him improvising in a more conservative chordal-based setting than usual but with his usual fire, unpredictability, and fearlessness. Guitarist Anthony Peterson is a perfect foil for Lake in this inside/outside music while bassist Santi Debriano and drummer Pheeroan akLaff provide stimulating support. Oliver Lake is heard throughout at the top of his game, making this both an easily recommended set for his fans and a perfect introduction to his dynamic music. ~ Scott YanowOption (Sept.-Oct./92, p.112) - "...This isn't Lake's most rigorous album, but it's one of his most fun..."
Village Voice (2/2/93, p.78) - "...the whole album suggests an accessibility that ought to bring the tart-toned altoist a larger hearing..." Virtual Reality: Total Escapism Music Oliver Lake Virtual Reality: Total Escapism Songs | 1. | Fables of Faubus |

| | Matthew Shipp Pastoral Composure CD (2000)
Virtual Reality: Total Escapism
$13.19
Matthew Shipp Quartet: Matthew Shipp (piano); Roy Campbell (trumpet, pocket trumpet, flugelhorn); William Parker (bass); Gerald Cleaver (drums).
Recorded at Seltzer Sound, New York, New York on January 6, 2000. Includes liner notes by Matthew Shipp.
Composer: Matthew Shipp.
Personnel: Matthew Shipp (piano); Roy Campbell (trumpet, pocket trumpet, flugelhorn); William Parker (upright bass); Gerald Cleaver (drums).
Recording information: Seltzer Sound in New York (01/06/2000); Seltzer Sound; NY, NY (01/06/2000).
Pastoral Composure is a rich and moving album that is one of the highlights of Matthew Shipp's array of recent releases. The pianist and composer is joined by trumpeter and flugelhorn player Roy Campbell, leading bassist William Parker, and drummer Gerald Cleaver, who are all strong contributors to this January, 2000, session. The album doesn't lose momentum from the dramatic opener, "Gesture," through the solo piano exposition -- the shortest number and closer -- "XTU." The first cut opens with Cleaver's unexpected military-like rolls on a loose snare that remain an integral sound throughout the piece. Cleaver is soon joined by Shipp and Parker who stir up a thunderstorm with dark, tense chords and percussive left-hand work on the piano and a constant buzzing from the bass. Campbell soon enters on trumpet to make this one of the quartet numbers on this album. The album's second piece, "Visions," will surprise naysayers with its straight-ahead seams on a jaunty form, and restrained (yet discernible) Shipp attitude. His fluid solo take on Ellington's The stormy feel of "Gesture" returns with the title track, featuring Campbell's trumpet singing atop the churning waves of Cleaver and Parker, with Shipp providing a percussive counter-melody. Two tracks later comes the dark take on "Frère Jacques" that has some near-maddening sections, as well as boggling chordal work by Shipp and interesting soloing from Campbell. While Matthew Shipp has come out with numerous releases these past several years, resulting in a slightly overwhelming catalogue, Pastoral Composure is a necessary listen for fans. It is also one of Shipp's more accessible ...
