Ivo Perelman, Art Ensemble of Chicago & Satoki Fujii

Three very special recordings get the OMJ treatment in this edition. Saxophonist Ivo Perelman's release Reed Rapture In Brooklyn is the largest of the three: 103 tracks over 12 different discs featuring Perelman and fellow saxophonists. It's an immense collection of improvised duets. Pianist Satoko Fujii's Hyaku: One Hundred Dreams celebrates her 100th album as a leader, and she assembled a dream band of NY improvisers for the occasion. The third highlight album is The Sixth Decade From Paris To Paris by an expanded Art Ensemble Of Chicago. That one recognizes the six decades that have passed since the AEC stormed into Paris in 1969 and turned the European avant-garde and free jazz scene upside down. This new release, on the Rogue Art label, was done in Paris appropriately. Other new albums sampled come from John Hollenbeck's George, Portugese bassist Cícero Lee, percussionist Ian Dogole, and the Sun Ra Arkestra. Definitely check out this show!
