4.0 out of 5 stars Very good Avant-Brazilian-Jazz, July 7, 2000

This review is from: Live in New York [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a very good video of the Brazilian tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman live at the Knitting Factory with a band including Geri Allen, Fred Hopkins, and Andrew Cyrille. Ivo Perelman shows his very individualistic style quite well playing over three passionate extended songs, all based, I believe, on brazilian children's songs. Geri plays very well. And vocalist Flora Purim gives a very good performance. The only downside is sometimes you tend to feel the music doesn't quite "get there" the band will build to a very intense groove, where you feel like they're just about to hit something incredable, and it just doesn't quite get there. Also, the video quality is not tremendously good. However, enough of the playing is good enough, and fresh enough, if you've got the bucks, it's a worthwhile investment. And if you enjoy Ivo, you'll definatly enjoy this.
