Piano Sutras is a solo album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, which was recorded in 2013 and released on Thirsty Ear's Blue Series.
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states " As a whole, Piano Sutras is instructive; it showcases Shipp's musical dialogue with the listener as evolutionary.
Brown describes the album as "a 13-track collection of pieces that are in turn meditative and aggressive, at times in the same song" and says that "also further reveals Shipp’s mastery of dynamic playing, his awareness of both the timbral limits and sonic possibilities of the piano.
"[4] In a review for Tiny Mix Tapes Clifford Allen notes that "Piano Sutras may at times seem singular and hermetic, separate as it is from group music, but Shipp's solos are multivalent and extraordinarily open.
"[5] The PopMatters review by Will Layman states "Piano Sutras is a glorious, generous, fully mature expression of creativity that could only have come from one artist.
