Perelman / Shipp / Cosgrove: Live in Carrboro
ByPerelman and Shipp always perform without preparation, notation, or discussion. Like two brothers from different mothers, their ongoing dialogue ostensively picks up where the pair left off at some other time and place. Ideas flash and alternately the saxophonist or the pianist sets the orientation. With the addition of Cosgrove, as with any additional player, the question was would he become overwhelmed by his partners or forced to elbow his way into their dialogue? Neither is the case here. Cosgrove finds his happy place by accenting his partners with cymbal splash, tom-tom pulse, and various tints and tones. Halfway through the performance, Perelman and Shipp lay out giving Cosgrove the stage. He does not wow the crowd with agitation but draws them in with a very understated solo. As the pair rejoin, there is a sense of satiation and balance which the music finds with this triangle of sound.
