Enrico Rava: To Be Free or Not To Be Free

by Ian Patterson
January 16, 2012

Freedom, it could be argued, is most deeply understood by those who have been somehow constrained against their will, or who have been prisoners of their own skewed vision of what it means to be free. Trumpeter Enrico Rava knows the meaning of musical freedom; he was part of the free-jazz scene of the 1960s and ...

Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe

by Ian Patterson
December 25, 2011

Trumpeter Enrico Rava has enjoyed a sustained late-career, creative high since returning to ECM with Easy Living (ECM, 2004) after an absence of 20 years. With a largely new and exciting lineup, Tribe balances new compositions with reworked older material, all imbued with Rava's trademark lyricism, embracing warmth and melodic strength. As the 2008 Touchstone Series ...

Gianluca Petrella - Paolino Dalla Porta - Fabrizio Sferra: Il Bagno Turco

by AAJ Italy Staff
November 30, 2011

Il bagno turco è un disco dalle sonorità scure, dagli andamenti sommessi e dalle linee stilistiche difficilmente identificabili. Questo perché al centro dei discorsi melodici e dello svolgimento tematico c'è quasi esclusivamente il trombone di Gianluca Petrella, più che mai pervaso da una sana visionarietà espressiva, sempre tesa a intraprendere traiettorie difficili e strettoie musicali dalle ...

Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe

by Greg Simmons
November 12, 2011

Italian trumpet virtuoso Enrico Rava masters improvised atmospheric landscapes on Tribe. His thick, dark horn quests for firm structure and often, not finding anything solid, rolls back and forth over the rhythm section as it collaboratively meanders through the soundscape. Being drawn into the adventure is almost irresistible. “Amnesia" sets the expectation that this ...

Enrico Rava Quintet: Tribe

by John Kelman
November 8, 2011

Plenty has happened since Enrico Rava last recorded with his working quintet. All but the piano chair remained stable between Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words And The Days (ECM, 2007), but trombonist Gianluca Petrella is the sole remnant on Tribe. “Change is good," they say, and if the rest of Rava's quintet consists of ...
