Ivo Perelman: Strings 1

Read "Strings 1" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Try to keep up sports fans, Ivo Perelman has switched directions once again. It's not that he has quit music to become a soccer star. The tenor saxophonist has more recently taken a dive into string quartets, recording a dozen or so sessions with bowing, plucking, and pizzicato-minded musicians. Strings 1 is the introduction. If this recording is a preview of the things to come, get ready for an explosion of creativity. Just when you might have thought ...

Ivo Perelman Makes It Rain

Read "Ivo Perelman Makes It Rain" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If music was sports, then Ivo Perelman would be baseball and most other musicians football. Where football's regular season is 16 games, baseball plays 162. Likewise, most musicians release one album every year or two, but Perelman has averaged seven titles per year for the last seven years. His 2017 Leo Records output is thirteen (fourteen, if you consider one release is a double live recording). Sure football fans, I mean casual jazz listeners, may scoff at the numbers. But ...

Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp: Corpo

Read "Corpo" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


La lista dei brani non lascia intravedere indizi su quanto si ascolterà nel CD. Non si tratta di una suite, ma l'ordine progressivo della titolazione dei brani rimanda all'idea di base del progetto musicale. La logica delle composizioni improvvisate affonda le radici nel serialismo come volano per idee correlate tramite libere associazioni, spunti e trasmutazioni fra jazz e musica accademica. Cementato da diverse produzioni discografiche, il duo fra Perelman e Shipp porta a maturazione una ricerca che si snoda all'insegna ...

The Art of Perelman-Shipp: Voll. 1-7

Read "The Art of Perelman-Shipp: Voll. 1-7" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Nella copiosa opera di documentazione dell'etichetta Leo Records dedicata al lavoro del sassofonista di origine brasiliana Ivo Perelman, incontriamo questo nuovo capitolo di sette CD, incentrato sul frequente lavoro con il pianista Matthew Shipp. The Art of Perelman-Shipp si aggiunge a una serie di pubblicazioni che vedono coinvolti i due musicisti, iniziate nel 1996, quando uscì il disco Cama de Terra, in trio con William Parker, e che annovera otto registrazioni in duo e una dozzina con formazioni più ampie. ...

Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio

Read "Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Sei volumi dedicati all'arte dell'improvvisazione in trio rappresentano una bella impresa. Per il musicista e per chi ascolta. Anche per chi, come il sassofonista di origini brasiliane Ivo Perelman, non si fa certo intimorire dalle strade impervie. È connaturata alla sua personalità artistica la ricerca in ogni dettaglio e sotto ogni angolazione possibile delle vene aurifere che si annidano nel dialogo libero e consapevole tra strumenti e personalità. Per intraprendere questa odissea audace, Perelman ha voluto coinvolgere ...

Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio

Read "Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio" reviewed by Jim Trageser


For the last few centuries, the avant-garde movement has taken for itself the role of challenging preconceived notions of what is acceptable in music, in poetry, in the visual arts. This challenge has, for the most part, consisted of violating accepted rules in order to provoke discussion about the validity of those norms. In the arena of serious music, we've progressed, as it were, from the highly structured world of Baroque and Romantic symphonic music to modern composers ...
