Why release one Perelman albums when you can release two? Also this month from Leo: CD LR 683 ENIGMA; Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp, Whit Dickey, Gerald Cleaver Tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman has been issuing albums at a furious rate recently. Over the last three years he recorded no less than 15 new albums. Like John Coltrane, Perelman’s albums are continually questioning the musical orthodoxy and looking for new parts of the musical map to explore. To record "Enigma" he needed to create denser music. That's why apart from his musical blood-brother Matthew Shipp he invites two drummers — Whit Dickeyand Gerald Cleaver. Ivo Perelman boldly goes where no tenor player has gone before.

I picked up one of the MoKaVe releases recently. I'll have to give it another spin. Not a good month for pianists.

And Kristallnacht - 1938.

Duke wrote "The River" suite in 1970. It was commissioned by a ballet company. He recorded a solo version in May that eventually appeared on "The Piano Player" (Storyville). The big band version was recorded over several May-June sessions and later released on one of the CDs in "The Private Collection".

Read "The Moonshine War" while I was away last week. Love most of his books that I've read...
