Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava had some chops. Lovely player. He is present on one other album in my collection which is the Lacy on ESP. Rava really turns up the heat at different points and his powerful tone and technique is on full display. The band consists of two other Italian players, Franco D’Andrea on piano and Giovanni Tommaso on double bass, and an American drummer in Bruce Ditmas. Great band. They play some fire.
Have acquired some ECM titles the last months and there is definitely great stuff on that label. Not everything is for me, but this one is wonderful.
The cover has a silver finish which is unusual, but the music is gold.
