Ivo Perelman + Tom Rainey: Duologues 1 Turning Point
by Hrayr Attarian
Innovative saxophonist Ivo Perelman thrives in small groups with like-minded musicians, as is amply demonstrated throughout his one-of-a-kind oeuvre. In drummer Tom Rainey, Perelman has found yet another perfect partner for shared improvisational explorations. The two men have complementary artistic visions as demonstrated by the superb Truth Seeker (Fundacja Słuchaj, 2024) with bassist Mark Helias. Similar ...
Tony Malaby and Firebath Ignite the Jazz Gallery
by Dave Kaufman
I had the great pleasure of seeing Tony Malaby perform at The Jazz Gallery. Malaby moved to Boston a couple of years ago to take up a teaching position at Berklee. Although he continues to perform in New York City, I had not seen him live since he moved. On this occasion, his band presented the ...
Ivo Perelman Quartet: Water Music
by Mark Corroto
Come on a rafting expedition with the Ivo Perelman Quartet. A river excursion is a perfect metaphor for the saxophonist's Water Music. Those familiar with the anomalous and idiosyncratic sounds that emanate from Perelman's saxophone also know he is attuned and reactive to the set and setting of a performance. Just as a trip on a ...
Jason Robinson, Borderlands Trio & Farewell Taint Radio
by Maurice Hogue
This edition of One Man's Jazz is the final one for taintradio.org, as Taint Radio closed operations on April 30th. One of the longest-running internet jazz stations, Taint Radio had a great run: 15+ years of independently programmed music, streaming 24/7 and absolutely no commercials. Major props go to radio veteran Bob Rogers who was Taint ...
Matt Lavelle, Jonathan Backstrom, Rob Mazurek & Helveticus
by Maurice Hogue
NYC multi-instrumentalist Matt Lavelle finally gets to see a dream fulfilled with the release of Crop Circles Suite Vol .1 by his 12 Houses Orchestra. Lavelle has been carefully crafting this very interesting album with its references to numerology and metaphysics for years. Finnish bassist Jonathan Backstrom has probably been carrying around his own dream: his ...
David Bixler, Milosz Pieczonka, Reza Askari, Marilyn Crispell & Jason Stein
by Maurice Hogue
This edition of One Man's Jazz is the 600th done for Taint Radio, and to mark the occasion two albums that would have fit in perfectly with Black History Month in February, but good music has no timetable. Saxophonist David Bixler drew upon not on the jazz poetry of the great Black Poet, Langston Hughes, but ...

Ivo Perelman's Two Stimulating Albums from January of 2024: Interaction and Truth Seeker
by Hrayr Attarian
Innovative Brazilian saxophonist and master improviser Ivo Perelman is as prolific as he is imaginative. With close to 100 recordings under his belt Perelman is always pushing the proverbial envelope looking for fresh ways to express himself. Having lived in various cities around the world--and currently splitting his time between Fortaleza Brazil and New York City--Perelman ...
Ivo Perelman / Mark Hellias / Tom Rainey Truth Seeker: Truth Seeker
by Mike Jurkovic
Saxophonist Ivo Perelman has a very deep understanding of time and space. He knows deep down these things, these oddly elusive concepts that bind us to the irreparable now, are truly meant to serve as agents of creation, of freedom. Of the freedom to create without corruption. He also senses on the most granular level that ...
Quinsin Nachoff: Stars and Constellations
by Vincenzo Roggero
Quinsin Nachoff è personaggio atipico nell'attuale panorama musicale. Attivo e apprezzato interprete di musica classica come di musica improvvisata, continua a operare con successo in entrambi i campi ma da anni,--attraverso lavori commissionati ad hoc, progetti multimediali che coinvolgono esperti di fisica, cineasti, orchestre da camera, quartetti d'archi --, sta portando avanti una personale visione delle ...
