Descrizione: Enrico Rava festeggia i suoi 50 anni in musica con un nuovo disco dal titolo New York Days per l’etichetta ECM e con un tour che giunge questa settimana a New York, dove il CD e’ stato registrato l’anno scorso. Con lui, sulla scena del fin troppo prestigioso Birdland, l’ormai compagno di molte avventure, una volta alunno, Stefano Bollani al piano, il magnifico Paul Motion alla batteria, insieme Mark Turner al sax e Ben Street al basso. Ad accogliervi al Birdland, di solito, il sorridente Gianni Valenti, anima e motore del locale di jazz piu’ storico di New York.

Description: Regarded as one of the most important composers on the European scene, the prolific jazz trumpeter is known for his broad musical language. Rava refers to jazz and swing configuration as much as he evokes Italian folk songs and his classical training. His first instrument, before coming to New York, was trombone, but after seeing Miles Davis and Lester Young in concert in 1956 in the city of Turin, he switched to trumpet, developing what writers now call a “burnished” tone. From Birdland web-site.

With Enrico Rava (Trumpet), Mark Turner (sax), Ben Street (bass), Stefano Bollani (piano) and Paul Motian (drums)
