by Eric Benson
April 3, 2009

Enrico Rava: New York Days

Read "New York Days" reviewed by John Kelman

January 22, 2009

In assessing Enrico Rava's lengthy career, while it is clear that he is still reaching for the unattainable, in recent years the Italian trumpeter's context has been considerably more centrist. Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words and the Days (ECM, 2007) were undeniably mainstream, albeit with an unmistakable European and, at times, Mediterranean bent. New ...

Read "Time and Time Again" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski
November 24, 2008

There's always magic in the air whenever Paul Motian, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano get together and this album is no exception.
