About

Recorded live at Rome’s Auditorium Parco della Musica last November, this album documents the meeting of the doyen of Italian jazz, Enrico Rava (who recently celebrated his 80th birthday), with Joe Lovano, masterful US tenorist of Sicilian heritage.

Rava and Lovano front a spirited quintet that includes lyrical pianist Giovanni Guidi, dynamic drummer Gerald Cleaver and rising star bassist Dezron Douglas (who makes his ECM debut here). Well-loved tunes by the two bandleaders form the core of the programme, including Enrico’s intricate “Interiors” and “Secrets” and Joe’s vigorous Texas blues “Forth Worth”, which recalls the energies of Ornette and Dewey Redman.

The programme concludes with an extended and powerful medley that roams across the history of modern jazz as it gathers together Lovano’s “Drum Song”, John Coltrane’s “Spiritual” and the standard tune “Over The Rainbow”.

Reviews

November 2019

Lovano’s ‘Fort Worth’ (a nod to Ornette) is exhilaratingly and free-jazzily polyphonic and conversational, ‘Divine Timing’ a haunting two-horns dirge that turns to effortless grooveswitching, and the closing segue embraces a Coltrane-quartet feel (on Coltrane’s ‘Spiritual’) and a disguised and almost-ambient visit to ‘Over the Rainbow’ by Guidi. The heads-playing is occasionally a little ragged (though in an Ornette/Cherry good way), but this is a meeting of hearts and minds. It should have happened a long time ago, but much better late than never.

November 2019

Trumpeter/flugelhornist Rava and reedist Lovano are well matched master instrumentalists. Their voices hold interest even when dispensing entirely with convention. If temperamentally compatible, they still present contrasts, each projecting their own cast of rangy, lyrical self-expression on this November 2018 concert recording.
