Ivo Perelman: Reed Rapture in Brooklyn
by Mark Corroto
"Let's play two," the famous line by the Cubs Hall-of-Fame baseball player Ernie Banks in 1969, uttered when the temperature in Chicago had reached 105 degrees (40.5 celsius) and his teammates were exhausted, might find its analogy with this massive undertaking from saxophonist Ivo Perelman. At eleven hours in length though, the two games Banks cited ...

Ivo Perelman / Matthew Shipp: Fruition
by Mark Corroto
After 26 years years of recording in duo together, is it possible now to decode the music of Ivo Perelman and Matthew Shipp?

Like the Steve Lacy/Mal Waldron duos, their sound together is ...

Pianist Spyros Manesis, bassist Arionas Gyftakis and drummer Anastasios Gouliaris came together as Spiral Trio in 2011 at the Athenaeum Conservatory in Athens.

Jacob Garchik: Assembly
by Mark Corroto
As a consequence of the global pandemic, we have been schooled in the science of virology. Under certain conditions viruses mutate and reorganize into something completely new. That is bad. Mutations can also be heard in the adventurous music of Jacob Garchik. That is good. His trombone leads his Atheist Gospel Trombone Album, his big band, ...
