Reception
The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins states "From abstract expressionism to bluesy introspection, every facet of Shipp's artistry is on display.. The Conduct of Jazz offers irrefutable proof of Shipp's enduring mastery of the jazz idiom."
In another review for All About Jazz, John Sharpe notes "Shipp in full flow is unmistakable— a unique stylist who propounds his memorable mix of infectious motifs, glittering runs and avalanches of dense clusters."
The Down Beat review by Ken Micallef says "Shipp mines so many inspired melodic and rhythmic collisions that it’s worth focusing on the individual moments that make up the pianist’s larger compositional landscape: the Monkish delights of the title track, the nightmarish spirals of 'Ball And Space,' the expansive trio skirmishes of 'Primary Form' —together they form a gateway to higher improvisation that is practically without parallel."
