Darius Jones, Matthew Shipp: The Darkseid Recital
by Libero Farnè
Delicati e sospesi impressionismi, movimentate evoluzioni in cui le asciutte sezioni del sax si sovrappongono al continuo e turbolento sottofondo tramato dal piano, rarefazioni caratterizzate da sonorità puntigliose del piano ed eccentriche del sax, scorribande free con i due strumenti legati inscindibilmente in un flusso turbinoso, frasi melodiche innestate su insistenze percussive... Queste ed altre situazioni ...

by Michael Bisio
For me music is full of magic, mystery, spirituality, joy, passion and fire, blue to red, yet my journey to conceptualize finds me chasing the most objective truths I can discover, truths stripped of every aesthetic element possible.

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.
