Perelman / Mahall - Kindred Spirits 2CD SET (LEO RECORDS 2018)


The first in the series of duo recordings by Ivo Perelman with bass clarinet specialists. The Brazilian-born saxophonist meets his match in the German bass clarinet wizard Rudi Mahall. Says Ivo: We are both foreigners, we both grew outside of American jazz. I never met anyone quite like Rudi. He has a refined compositional sense, smart counterpoint, rhythmic displacement, harmonic and melodic development. The recording surpassed my wildest expectations. It is a textbook example of how to approach duo improvising by taking chances and fully listening, while still keeping one's identity. Everything is in there, packaged in a groundbreaking way."

Ivo Perelman, Tenor Saxophone
Rudi Mahall, Bass Clarinet

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Parkwest studios, Brooklyn NY, June 2018
