Ivo Perelman's 'Complementary Colors' is a captivating 46-minute journey through the realms of free jazz and avant-garde, released on 1 October 2015 via Leo Records. This album is a masterful exploration of sound, with each track meticulously titled to evoke the vibrant hues of the colour spectrum. From the soaring highs of 'Violet' and 'Yellow' to the deeper, richer tones of 'Blue' and 'Red', Perelman's saxophone weaves a complex tapestry of sound that is at once both challenging and mesmerising.
As the album progresses, the colours begin to blend and merge, with tracks like 'Violet and Yellow' and 'Blue and Red' showcasing Perelman's ability to balance disparate elements in a beautiful, harmonious whole. The introduction of 'Green' and 'Magenta' adds a new layer of depth and complexity, before the album culminates in the stark, monochromatic simplicity of 'White'.
Throughout 'Complementary Colors', Ivo Perelman's innovative approach to jazz is on full display, pushing the boundaries of the genre and creating a truly unique listening experience. With its bold, expressive soundscapes and unflinching creativity, this album is a must-listen for fans of free jazz and avant-garde music.
