Ivo Perelman - Matthew Shipp - Gerald Cleaver: The Foreign Legion
Lungi dall'esaltare lo strumento nella sua valenza armonica Shipp privilegia ora la componente ritmica, interagendo in maniera stimolante con il drumming proteiforme di Cleaver, ora l'elemento timbrico procedendo a pennellate e a violente macchie di colore. Creando sempre e comunque una tensione ambigua e dissonante per le evoluzioni del tenore di Perelman che sembra trovare negli iper acuti il terreno ideale per i suoi percorsi improvvisativi, zigzagando tra glissandi, colpi di lingua e multifonici. In definitiva The Foreign Legion mette in mostra una volta di più il talento di improvvisatore di Perelman e la sua prorompente vitalità ma non aggiunge nulla di nuovo ad un'estetica ancorata ai più classici stilemi del free.
