by Vincenzo Roggero
Nella carriera del sassofonista e artista visuale brasiliano Ivo Perelman (il suo sito è significativamente dedicato ai due differenti ambiti artistici), iniziata discograficamente nel 1989 con l'album Ivo, possiamo individuare due punti fermi, due caratteristiche rimaste per lo più immutate nel corso degli anni.

Max Johnson: The Prisoner
by John Sharpe
