Ivo Perelman: Serendipity

Read "Serendipity" reviewed by Mark Corroto

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 ...

Ivo Perelman: The Passion According G. H.

Read "The Passion According G. H." reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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 ...

Ivo Perelman - Matthew Shipp - Michael Bisio: The Gift

Read "The Gift" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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 ...

Ivo Perelman - Matthew Shipp - Gerald Cleaver: The Foreign Legion

Read "The Foreign Legion" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

All'origine vi è l'ultimo quartetto regolare di Ivo Perelman - sassofonista, compositore, pittore e artista visuale brasiliano dalla discografia sconfinata e dalle collaborazioni eccellenti - composto da Joe Morris, Gerald Cleaver e Matthew Shipp. Da qui nasce l'idea di Perelman di esplorare la forma-trio cambiandone di volta in volta la combinazione degli elementi originari. In Family Ties a cedere il passo era il pianista Matthew Shipp, in questa seconda uscita del progetto l'assenza è quella del bassista Joe Morris. Proprio ...

Ivo Perelman - Matthew Shipp - Whit Dickey: The Clairvoyant

Read "The Clairvoyant" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Da anni Ivo Perelman e Matthew Shipp incrociano le loro straordinarie personalità di improvvisatori: su disco lo hanno fatto all'inizio in modo sporadico, ma significativo, come nel caso di Bendito of Santa Cruz e di Brazilian Watercolors, in duo, e di Cama de Terra, in trio con William Parker, registrati nel 1996. Negli ultimi tempi la loro frequentazione si è infittita, e le registrazioni sono state abbondantemente documentate dall'etichetta Leo Records. Abbiamo visto così la pubblicazione dello splendido The Hour ...

Perelman - Morris - Cleaver: Living Jelly

Read "Living Jelly" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

It may take some stamina to keep up with Brazilian avant-garde tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman, as he often releases several albums in unison. Living Jelly, featuring guitarist Joe Morris and drummer Gerald Cleaver, marks one of three concurrent albums produced for Leo Records. Offering ensemble and stylistic contrasts, Perelman garners the support of pianist Matthew Shipp and drummer Whit Dickey on The Clairvoyant (Leo, 2012), and realigns with Shipp and bassist Michael Bisio on The Gift (Leo, 2012). Three outings ...
