Ivo Perelman: One
by Glenn Astarita
Brazilian saxophonist Ivo Perelman's inaugural recording for this progressive UK-based record label includes frequent companion, bassist Joe Morris and Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi (Merzbow, ZU). As for Pandi, he's contributed to several albums for this label and brings a hardcore progressive metal and avant-rock realm of experience to the forefront. Otherwise, the trio launches a largely hyper-mode onslaught via potent rhythmic invectives amid the leader's ravaging flurries and climatic sorties into the upper-register. Perelman is a cunning artisan. ...

Brazilian tenor sax titan Ivo Perelman's 22nd album for Leo Records crosses paths formerly traversed. Set out to be a trio date with pianist Matthew Shipp and drummer Gerald Cleaver, Perelman called bassist William Parker because one of the artists was late for the studio session, although everyone showed up; hence, the quartet format. Perelman's mammoth sax manifestations prevail as one would anticipate. Featuring the lone extended piece “Serendipity," the quartet operates within a caravan of whirlwind improvisational ...

Con Living Jelly Ivo Perelman aggiunge un ulteriore tassello al mosaico della sua personale reinterpretazione del free storico, affiancato dal batterista Gerald Cleaver e dal chitarrista Joe Morris. In scaletta cinque lunghi brani costruiti sulla centralità della sua voce solista. Il primo, il raffinato “In Pursuit of Pleasure," è il più classico dell'intera incisione come struttura armonica e forma, anche se il processo decostruttivo e ricostruttivo portato avanti dal leader del gruppo fa presto perdere le tracce del suo originale ...

by Troy Collins
Currently in the midst of an unprecedented mid-career renaissance, wildly prolific tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman has been recording for Leo Records at a frantic pace, typically issuing several new albums at a time. Released concurrently with The Edge and The Art of the Duet, Volume One is Serendipity, a title that bears out its namesake. Taped in the winter of 2011 during what was originally intended to be the session for The Foreign Legion, a bass-less trio date with Perelman's ...

by Mark Corroto
Back in the day, when a 12-inch LP was limited to about 20 minutes of music per side, an engineer would have had to carefully edit a recording such as the 45-minute long improvisation heard on Serendipity.That certainly is an unacceptable proposition for the quartet assembled by tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman.His intensely productive period of recording in 2011 is still bearing fruit. This session with pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker, and drummer Gerald Cleaver took ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
L'interesse di Ivo Perelman per gli archi si è espresso in molti suoi album e in tutte le possibile sfaccettature, dall'impressionante corpo a corpo con il violoncello di Tomas Ulrich su Sieiro all'incontro con il violino di Rosi Hertlein, ad esempio su Near to the Wild Heart, o con il quartetto d'archi insieme al CT Quartet di Dominic Duval su Alexander Suite, gruppo che ha inciso anche con Joe McPhee Reqiphoenix Nexus. Dopo diversi anni, ora Perelman si confronta di ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Ecco una nuova tessera del mosaico costruito dalla coppia Ivo Perelman - Matthew Shipp, che ha lavorato dapprima con un quartetto completato da basso e batteria, pubblicando The Hour of the Star nel 2011, per tuffarsi poi nelle varianti di trio, cambiando strumenti e personalità coinvolte. The Gift è il terzo disco in trio pubblicato nell'arco di breve tempo dalla Leo Records dopo The Foreign Legion, con Gerald Cleaver alla batteria e il più recente The Clairvoyant, con la batteria ...
