Butterfly Whispers
Ivo Perelman | Matthew Shipp | Whit Dickey
As Neil Tesser writes in his liner notes, “the musical paths of Ivo and Matt have become so tightly intertwined that one wonders how another musician might find space between them; how to avoid playing the “third wheel” on the powerful vehicle Perelman and Shipp have developed. Whit Dickey, however, is not just “another musician.” He makes a monumental contribution by playing with restraint and calm and an almost eerie sense of what belongs where. Ivo says: “This album is very different from just being our duo plus a drummer. Whit changes the overall sound completely.”
