Ivo Perelman: Counterpoint
ByMalleable shapes, curvatures and linear trajectories seed the instantaneous compositions. Each piece offers a dissimilar perspective beneath the intricacies, whether it's Maneri's streaming passages or Perelman's circumnavigations through all registers that parallel, colorize or augment his cohorts' phrasings. But on "Part 4," Morris' lays out a medium-toned and rather subliminal ostinato that sets the groundwork for the trio's free-form improv. Here, the saxophonist's terse lines in the upper-register trigger a firestorm as Maneri finishes off what was started. Yet "Part 7" contains a slower-paced motif, tempered by Perelman's laisse-faire stance and abetted by his use of tremolo, leading the band towards a steadily ascending storyline. As "Part 9," features the guitarist's singing notes against a faint and layered backdrop, where the band works within the lower register, sparking emotive attributes that bridge coarse and wistful mini- themes with the artists' vast expressionism. One of the predominant aspects of this affair relates to the musicians' cagey inner-workings and on-the-fly developments while using counterpoint as an agile and sustainable vehicle for these largely, magnetic performances.
