Ivo Perelman (born January 12, 1961 in São Paulo ) is a Brazilian jazz musician ( tenor saxophone , flute , composition ) and painter .

Live and act

As a child prodigy, Perelman gave classical concerts from the age of nine. He learned the piano, cello, trombone and clarinet as other instruments, but then studied architecture. It was only after several years of orientation, during which he traveled through Canada , Israel , Italy and the USA , that he began studying music in Los Angeles , focusing on the flute. On the west coast he became a partner of pop musicians. On his debut album "Ivo" (ITM Records 1989) he played with Airto Moreira , Flora Purim , Eliane Elias , John Patitucci , Don Preston and Peter Erskine .

He also recorded with Paul Bley , Don Pullen , Fred Hopkins and Andrew Cyrille ("Children of Ibeji", Enja 1992). He has also worked with Mino Cinelu , Naná Vasconcelos , Reggie Workman , Dominic Duval , William Parker , Rashied Ali , Louis Sclavis and Elton Dean . His hymn ecstasy on the tenor saxophone is somewhat reminiscent of Gato Barbieri .

Perelman has also been active as a visual artist since the mid-1990s. He has exhibited internationally; his pictures can be found in the Miniature Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Amsterdam as well as in the Brooklyn Jewish Arts in New York City .
