The duo of tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman and trumpeter Nate Wooley will release their latest album, Polarity 4, November 7 on Burning Ambulance Music.
Each volume in the Polarity series has been different from the others, and different from anything else in Ivo Perelman’s vast discography. Polarity 4 is no exception, as its opening track, “(one),” offers the first-ever example of overdubbing in his catalog. As the track plays out, it evolves from a duo to a quartet, with two Perelmans and two Wooleys improvising over and around each other.
Perelman has released well over 125 albums on labels like Enja, Clean Feed, Leo, Homestead, Cadence, ESP-Disk’ and more. A tireless improviser constantly in search of new sonic vistas and new opportunities to play with others, he is also a visual artist and jewelry designer.
Wooley is a trumpeter, composer and improviser dedicated to sonic exploration and experimental music. In addition to composing and performing, he edited the magazine Sound American for 30 issues over 10 years, and his writing has been published in The Nation, the New York Review of Books, and elsewhere.
Polarity was one of the first two releases on Burning Ambulance Music in 2021, and subsequent volumes arrived in 2023 and 2024. Each installment has received rave reviews from outlets like The Wire, DownBeat, and the Free Jazz Blog.
Limited edition of 500 CDs in heavy-duty tip-on style gatefold mini-LP sleeve.
