Our Lady of the Flowers is an album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, which was recorded in 2013 and released on the French RogueArt label. The album is named after the novel by French writer Jean Genet.

Reception

The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states "Shipp propounds his utterly distinctive style, with nagging motifs prominent, though he reins in his customary explosions."[1]
