Ivo Perelman: The Art Of Perelman-Shipp, Volume 3: Pandora


For The Art Of Perelman-Shipp, Volume 3: Pandora, the Volume 1 trio of Ivo Perelman, Shipp, and Parker is joined by drummer Whit Dickey. Perelman doesn’t often favor the quartet setting, but in this case he’s got what was at one time three-quarters of the David S. Ware quartet as his accomplices. Their pre-existing rapport, when added to the intimate bond that Shipp and Perelman share, results in a tremendously absorbing and exciting session. Especially worthy of note are Shipp’s introspective solo in Part 1 and his tender opening to Part 3, Perelman’s beautifully structured solo in the second half of Part 2, Dickey’s slashing cymbal work in Part 3, the playful duo of Perelman and Dickey as they open Part 5, Parker’s firmly grounded bass on Part 5, the quiet intensity of the entire band throughout Part 4 and their song-like instant composing for the last couple of minutes of Part 5. Another impressive outing for Perelman and associates.
