by Steven LoewyIvo Perelman has yet to release a less-than-outstanding recording, which is significant considering the seemingly endless flow of CDs that he has produced. For this one, he performs in duo with drummer Jay Rosen, with whom he has performed and recorded previously. As to be expected, there are moments of incredible power and spectacular musicianship. Not all of the pieces indulge in the kind of ferocious intensity that's been Perelman's hallmark, but the ones that do will amply reward his followers. The (relatively) softer tracks may not be quite as compelling, but they offer their own rewards. This is clearly music of the moment, free and improvised on the spot. Perelman lets loose an endless stream of ideas, and his passionate, fiery attack never lets down. There may be better Perelman releases available, but every disc, including this one, is filled with gems.
