Supernova

Dive into the cosmos of sound with Ivo Perelman's latest masterstroke, "Supernova," a stellar exploration of free jazz and avant-garde expressions. Released on November 7, 2024, via Ivo Perelman's own label with distribution by Tratore, this 46-minute odyssey is a testament to Perelman's prowess on the tenor saxophone and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz.

"Supernova" is the brainchild of Ivo Perelman's São Paulo Creative 4, a quartet that includes Livio Tragtenberg on bass clarinet and alto saxophone, Manu Falleiros on piano, and Rogério Costa on double bass. Together, they weave a tapestry of intricate, dynamic, and profoundly engaging soundscapes that surprise, astound, and delight at nearly every turn. The album's seven tracks—"White Dwarf," "Black Hole," "Planetary Nebula," "Black Dwarf," "Blue Supergiant Star," "Brown Dwarf," and "Dark Matter"—are a vivid journey through the celestial phenomena that inspire their titles, each piece a unique constellation of improvisational brilliance.

Perelman's avant-leaning tenor saxophone is the guiding star of "Supernova," but it is the collective improvisation of the quartet that truly sets this album apart. The interplay between Perelman, Tragtenberg, Falleiros, and Costa is a symphony of spontaneity and skill, a testament to the power of collective creativity. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a curious explorer of avant-garde soundscapes, "Supernova" promises an unforgettable experience. So, buckle up and prepare for a sonic voyage through the cosmos with Ivo Perelman and his São Paulo Creative 4.
