What made this most recent :, : convening of the Ivo Perelman Trio so singular was the fact that : :' not only were all three musicians û prolific saxophonist Ivo ': ,: Perelman, pianist Matthew Shipp, and drummer Whit Dickey û :, : immersed in the same present-day miasma, so was every potential : :' listener, wherever they might be. ': ,: :, : Garden of Jewels was recorded in June 2020 as the coronavirus : :' pandemic raged across the globe. On the day that these three ': ,: longtime collaborators warily (and safely) entered the studio :, : for the first time since the virus forced us indoors, the : :' un-precedented circumstances provided the trio a profoundly ': ,: urgent source of inspiration. At the same time, the country was :, : in the midst of a series of turbulent protests that added an : :' additional layer of vitality to the proceedings. ': ,: :, : ôThere was so much creative tension in the air,ö Perelman : :' recalls. ôIt was the first time that I came out of hibernation ': ,: in my Brooklyn apartment, where IÆd been focused on playing the :, : saxophone for many, many hours every day while listening to : :' sirens outside and wondering what life was about. Matt, Whit ': ,: and I came together and cathartically created music out of all :, : this mess.ö : :' ': ,: While Garden of Jewels is only the second time that Perelman, :, : Shipp and Dickey have recorded as a trio û the first, Butterfly : :' Whispers, was released in 2015 û all three share a long and ': ,: rich history. Shipp and Dickey, of course, worked together as :, : integral members of the David S. Ware Quartet & in ShippÆs own : :' Trio, while the pianist and Perelman have spent the last decade ': ,: creating one of the most well-documented partnerships in :, : improvised music history. : :' ': ,: The trio entered the studio without having discussed what might :, : transpire at the session û the eight tracks that resulted : :' provide vivid evidence of the bandÆs deft spontaneity, ': ,: kaleidoscopic versatility and deeply felt camaraderie. ItÆs also :, : the latest glimpse of the ongoing evolution of their collective : :' identity. ôWeÆre like scientists dealing with sound,ö Perelman ': ,: says with a chuckle. ôEach recording is a means to check our :, : development.ö : :' ': ,: Also of note here is Perelman's revived interest in :, : jewelry-making, which Perelman initially took up 20 years ago : :' and resumed shortly before the pandemic. One example of his ': ,: recent work graces the cover of Garden of Jewels. In addition to :, : suggesting its title, the graceful, elegant piece seems to : :' materialize the fluid swoops and whorls of PerelmanÆs tenor sax ': ,: lines into golden arabesques. :, : : :' These pursuits not only provide an outlet for PerelmanÆs ': ,: indefatigable creativity, but a source of light amidst the :, : darkness of the present era. That balance is one that Perelman : :' says the trio felt that June day in New York, and one whose ': ,: energy pervaded beyond the studio walls. :, : : :' ôThere was a dark energy surrounding all of us, counterbalanced ': ,: by the sheer power of creation. We had to become an antenna to :, : capture the angst and anxiety of the times and transform it into : :' art and catharsis. There was a social function to that music, ': ,: not just for us but for anyone who might hear it one day. I left :, : the studio with a new soul.ö : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
