Floating Ice is an album by American jazz bassist Michael Bisio and pianist Matthew Shipp, which was recorded in 2012 and released on Relative Pitch Records.
In a review for JazzTimes Mike Shanley notes that "Although the musicians occasionally digress into personal tangents, they always manage to reconnect before things get too chaotic.
"[2] The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins states "Floating Ice is a revealing portrait of two master improvisers engaged in spontaneous discourse, with every nuance of their attentive interplay captured in minute detail.
"[3] The Down Beat review by Michael Jackson says that "Matthew Shipp has an interest in the sweet science of boxing, and it doesn’t surprise given his knuckle-dusting duck ’n’ dive pianism.. Shipp’s music is speedball attack and shadow boxing.
"[1] In a review for The Guardian John Fordham says "It's free-jazz, but full of melody, and every sound counts.
