Christian McBride’s World At Sea Cruise
CaribbeanCruise Event
“Guitarist Ely Perlman.. showed off incredible solo skills that reminded listeners of the gold standard musicianship of legendary jazz and jazz fusion guitarist Pat Metheny.”
UTAH JAZZ REVIEW
PRESS
“The newest name…guitarist Ely Perlman, was one of the primary takeaways from the festival. His solos kept arriving at striking original ideas. Watch for him.”
NEW YORK JAZZ RECORD
“Perlman’s composition swims in the seas of contemporary jazz meets ambient. A minimalist approach, opened up with processed electric guitar, which favors texture and mood over extended virtuoso spotlighting.”
