The Flow of X is an album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp which was recorded in 1995 and released on the 2.13.61 label. It features a quartet with violinist Mat Maneri, bassist William Parker and drummer Whit Dickey, the same lineup as the previous album Critical Mass. The liner notes include a piece by Shipp comparing boxing and jazz.
In his review for AllMusic, Charlie Wilmoth states "Shipp plays rich, low-register chords and more acrobatic lines like a slightly more sedate Cecil Taylor." The JazzTimes review by Josef Woodard says that "this music is all about flow, the flow of dialogue and moods between sentient musicians and the flow of music with a decidedly free will."
