Tenor sax titan Perelman draws much of his inspiration from the folk music of his native Brazil, but a cool-toned Bossa Nova balladeer he is not. His fiery, emotionally charged improvisations and wide vibrato have roots in the work of 1960s Free Jazz players such as Albert Ayler, but even at its most volcanic, his playing tends to remain at least somewhat melodic. He released a flood of CDs in many different contexts during the '90s, primarily featuring New York-based musicians including ex-Coltrane drummer Rashied Ali, pianist Matthew Shipp, and bassist William Parker.
