Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Bobby Kapp – Synesthesia

(2026, 250lmt, 6panel digipack CD, FK030)

Synesthesia reunites Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp, William Parker, and Bobby Kapp in a powerful new exploration of contemporary free jazz, following the acclaimed Ineffable Joy and Heptagon. Blending spontaneous composition with deep collective interplay, the quartet moves through shifting textures, emotional intensity, and refined modern jazz forms. Perelman’s expressive tenor saxophone, Shipp’s architectural piano language, Parker’s resonant bass presence, and Kapp’s fluid rhythmic detail create music that is both deeply intuitive and constantly evolving. Expansive yet focused, Synesthesia captures four master improvisers in complete artistic spontaneous composition.
