Synopsis

Album Description
The Ben Perowsky trio featuring Chris Speed on saxophone and clarinet, Scott Colley on bass and Ben on drums has recently recorded their first cd live at the Knitting Factory in N.Y.C. The raw excitement in the room as well as an intense creative process is captured here, live on this important debut CD. Following his necessity to lead a group of his own, Perowsky took a special weekly engagement at the Knitting Factory in 1997, with the idea of developing some new compositions and a band approach. The current B.P. Trio evolved from these well-received late night jam sessions. Stirring up a strong buzz in music circles around town, they decided to document these weekly events.
 

CD Reviews

Must have been a great gig.
Douglas T Martin | Alpharetta, GA USA | 06/22/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded live at the Knitting Factory in NYC, this CD captures the raw feel of a live gig - except for the last song which is a relaxed studio cover of the Pink Floyd song "Money". The live stuff is very live; Perowsky whales on the drums in 'El Destructo' and 'Janitor'. There are classics by Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker, and classical by Oliver Messiaen - and it all works well together. Perowsky also plays in the Dave Douglas Quartet and turns in a great performance on that group's "Leap of Faith" recording.Ben Perowsky - drums, Chris Speed - tenor sax and clarinet, Scott Colley - bass."
