Ivo Perelman & Nate Wooley - Polarity 2 (2023)

The best improvisers play their best when challenged the most. Ivo Perelman and Nate Wooley once again push each other to peak performances, and since their peaks are high, so is the level of improvisation. — S. Victor Aaron, Something Else!

Throughout the recording, Perelman, and Wooley trade musical commentary, rather like two familiar comrades meeting up after a short time apart, each with something to say, and the other more than willing to listen and respond. — Sammy Stein, Free Jazz Blog

Recorded in Brooklyn, New York, the second installment of tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman and trumpeter Nate Wooley's Polarity sessions offers a series of reflective, sometimes ludic, conversations...A graceful lyricism gradually takes over, coloured by wavering pitches and warm susurrations. — Stewart Smith, The Wire
