“Ivo’s virtuosity and individual sound – tremendously lyrical – has created a world within the Avant-Garde that is all his own, unlike of anybody else.”
-Gary Giddins, author, critic – The New York Times, Village Voice, The Sun

“Perelman belongs to a lineage of aesthetically ambitious humanists like Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Henry Threadgill.”
-James C.Hall, author, New College Director, University of Alabama

“…an entire new school of jazz…, unique genius…”
-Gunther Schuller, composer, conductor, jazz historian

Perelman learned to play guitar, cello, clarinet, trombone, and piano while young, and concentrated on tenor sax from age 19. He attended the Berklee College of Music for one semester and then dropped out, moving to Los Angeles in 1986. Perelman released his first album in 1989, which featured Peter Erskine, John Patitucci, Airto Moreira, Elaine Elias, and Flora Purim as guests. After the release of his first album he moved to New York City. Perelman has released many critically-acclaimed Abums since then for a number of different labels.
