Product Description Enrico Rava is playing at a peak of lyrical inventiveness on 'Tribe' and this Italian quintet is amongst his strongest ensembles. Since his return to ECM with Easy Living in 2003, the grand master of Italian jazz has gone from strength to strength, in a series of truly exceptional recordings including Tati, The Words and The Days, The Third Man, and New York Days. Now comes Tribe which posits Enrico as the wise yet impulsive elder, leading a band of bright young talents. Trombonist Gianluca Petrella is retained from The Words and the Days line-up. Voted Rising Star Trombonist in the Down Beat Critics Poll of 2005, he has a front-line relationship with Rava which recalls Enrico's affinity with Roswell Rudd back in the heyday of the New York 'free' era. Rava and Petrella are players who love and understand the entire history of jazz - from New Orleans to the present day - and quick-witted exchanges abound here, referencing all of the music.Enrico has always encouraged younger musicians and pianist Giovanni Guidi (born 1985) is a real find, a player of creativity and imagination. "Giovanni Guidi is like Bollani and Petrella: he astounds me every time." Gabriele Evangelista (born 1988), another young player of promise, works splendidly alongside widely-experienced drummer Fabrizio Sferra, whose resume includes work with Chet Baker, Paul Bley and Kenny Wheeler.The quintet is augmented on several tracks by the discreet guitar of Giacomo Ancillotto, an up-and-coming young player best known in Italy for his work with the Caterina Pallazzi Quartet. Material on Tribe includes new and old tunes by Rava and collective improvisation. It was recorded at Arte Suono Studio in Udine in October 2010, with Manfred Eicher producing.Personnel: Enrico Rava (trumpet), Gianluca Petrella (trombone), Giovanni Guidi (piano), Gabriele Evangelista (double-bass), Fabrizio Sferra (drums) with Giacomo Ancillotto (guitar) Review (4 stars) The compositions and performances here achieve a breadth of content and mood that touches upon the divine. -- Jazzwise, (Duncan Heining), November 2011(5 stars) An enchanting album of luxuriant brass textures, alluring ballads, bursts of twisting postbop and memorable soloing. -- The Guardian, (John Fordham), October 28, 2011The grand master of Italian jazz trumpet returns with a young new quintet and some slow-burning, deeply lyrical performances. -- The Independent (Album of the Week), (Tim Cumming), November 12, 2011 Review: E.R.....NO RESCUCITATION NEEDED - Enrico rava has always been interesting musicians to record on the ECM label,he has always been on the verge of major acceptance by the Jazz afficianado,but never seems to get the recognition he so richly deserves,and yet if you listen to internet radio jazz stations his prescence is widely felt,the fact is he is a superb musician as his albums often show. 1)"Amnesia"Starts the album in a very positive way,slightly reminiscent of Tomasz Stanko,of which comparissons are inevitable,This is a ballad,which deserves more plays. 2)"Garbage can blues" a lovely flowing piano solo is the mainstay to this plaintive tune. 3)"Choctaw"a bass led romp,this is more upbeat,echoes of Miles Davis permiate throughout. 4)"Incognito" a long track that keeps the attention throughout its ten minute playing time. 5)"Cornettology"is this a joke about Italian ice cream?it is light and airy with some great playing involved,the Piano and bass are particularly impressive. 6)" F.express"a return to the slower side of Rava,this track is more restfull. 7)"Tears for Neda"another ballad. 8)"Song tree" a very pretty ,flowing tune that serves the set well. 9)"Paris Baguette"Just what i could do with now,with Brie and Cucumber!!! 10)"Planet earth"not the Duran Duran song,fortunately 11)"Tribe"The exuberant title track 12)"Improvisation"finishes the album in fine form. Not everyone will like this album,it can be a bit repetative,however it can be extremely calming and if played occasionally will improve with age,i do look forward to Rava's next album which is a live reworking of the music of Michael Jackson. 64.51 RECORDED 2010 RELEASED 2011 ECM ENRICO RAVA.....TRUMPET GIANLUCA PETRELLA.....TROMBONE GIOVANNI GUIDI.....PIANO GABRIELE EVANGELISTA.....DOUBLE BASS FABRIZIO SIERRA......DRUMS GIACOMO ANCILLOTTO.....GUITAR VALUE FOR MONEY***** PACKAGING......STANDARD,WITH BOOKLET AND SLIPCASE,BUT GEING ECM THIS HIGH QUALITY PRINTING FAVOURITE TRACKS.....INCOGNITO/F.EXPESS Review: Enrico Rava quintet/sextet Tribes: remarkable and inspired - Since his return to ECM eight years ago, the great Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava has released some beautiful and inspired quintet recordings: " Easy Living " recorded June 2003 with Petrella (trombone), Bollani (piano), Bonaccorso (double-bass), Gatto (drums); " The Words and the Days " recorded December 2005 with Pozza (piano) taking the place of Bollani; " New York Days " recorded February 2008 with Bollani (piano), Turner (tenor saxophone), Grenadier (double-bass), Motian (drums). After a little more than two years from the latest quintet work, here comes this new work titled "Tribe", recorded October 2010. The almost all new Italian quintet features Petrella (trombone), Guidi (piano). Evangelista (double-bass), Sferra drums, and becomes a sextet in 4 of the 12 tracks for the addition of Ancillotto on electric guitar. Results: great and highly enjoyable music from Mr. Rava, where lyrical themes and seductive and brilliant improvisations are always perfectly combined. Similarly to " The Words and the Days ", the core of "Tribe" is in the remarkable and inspired interactions between Rava and Petrella, always on the forefront of this quintet/sextet. But in "Tribe" the rhythm section (piano-bass-drums) reaches an even higher level and balance, with Guidi, Evangelista and Sferra doing some really attractive work that envelopes the two horns with a warm and harmonically rich canvas. Musical atmospheres still fit in the ECM aesthetic canon, yet becoming less melancholic and more reassuring and heartening. Electric guitarist Ancillotto, with a style that could be possibly compared to the one of John Abercrombie (that recorded in the past with Mr. Rava) is a very welcome addition to the quintet. His contributions, limited to some subtle accompaniments and a striking solo, are well integrated with the work of the other musicians and further enlarge the musical palette of this great album. I hope to hear more from him in the future. Needless to say, recording quality is top notch, as usual from ECM and recording engineer Stefano Amerio at the ArteSuono Studio in Udine, Italy. Conclusions: totally recommended even if you have the other recent quintet releases, just plan some repeated listening sessions to fully appreciate this music.

Enrico Rava quintet/sextet Tribes: remarkable and inspired
Since his return to ECM eight years ago, the great Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava has released some beautiful and inspired quintet recordings: " Easy Living " recorded June 2003 with Petrella (trombone), Bollani (piano), Bonaccorso (double-bass), Gatto (drums); " The Words and the Days " recorded December 2005 with Pozza (piano) taking the place of Bollani; " New York Days " recorded February 2008 with Bollani (piano), Turner (tenor saxophone), Grenadier (double-bass), Motian (drums).

This is a wonderful album that has the free spirit of creative sounds
This is a wonderful album that has the free spirit of creative sounds. It is like a shamanic journey into the mysterious. There is a real bounce of rhythm and harmony between the musicians: a kingship of harmony. It’s like a firework party in a generous display of musical expression. The trumpet and piano - swagger together in arrogant boast, and there is masterly control of balance with the electric guitar, trombone , double bass, and a recurring boom of rhythmic beat from the drums....a spectacular tournament, the music sings in triumphal harmony. It is the essential album from Enrico Rava: a masterpiece. I highly recommend.

今や、巨匠とも言われるイタリアのトランペット奏者エンリコ・ラヴァのECMレーベルからのアルバムです。そして、ECMから自身のピアノトリオのアルバムをリリースしたジョヴァンニ・グイディも当時新進気鋭の若手ピアニストとしてこのアルバムに起用されています。イタリアのジャズ界も蒼々たるアーティストが揃っているもですね。 そういえば、75年にリリースされたラヴァのThe Pilgrim And The Stars というアルバムは、イタリア人初の記念すべきECM作です。フリージャズと歌心豊潤な独創性がダイナミックで華麗な演奏をECMらしい高音質でリスナーを唸らせてくれています。今回も巨匠らしい、美しいロングトーンを奏でております。これも、人それぞれで聴きようによっては、甘美な音色・・とか渋いトランペットとか・・言えるのでしょうね。もっと沢山の日本人に聴いてほしいミュージシャンの一人です。

Ich finde auch, wie der Renzensent vor mir, dass es tatsächlich einen ECM Einheitsbrei gibt. Gerade aber bei "Tribe" trifft das nicht zu. Ein Enrico Rava Album mit einem neuen Klangbild und ich meine, das liegt daran, dass die Band um einen Gitarristen bereichert wurde. Zwar nur auf ein paar Tracks, dafür aber beeindruckend. Das Solo auf dem sechsten Track - toll. Schöne Platte!

Wer wissen will, wie Jazz heute klingen kann, ja, sollte (jenseits von dämlichen Elektronikspielereinen a la "re: ecm"), der kann sich voll und ganz dieser "Sippe" (Tribe) anvertrauen. Der 1939 in Triest geborene Trompeter und Flügelhornspieler legt hier eine rundum geglückte, stimulierende, inspirierende, ja, auch: glücklich machende Produktion vor. Und zwar im Quintett mit Gianluca Petrella: Posaune, Giovanni Guidi: Klavier, Gabriele Evangelista: Kontrabass und Fabrizio Sferra: Schlagzeug sowie als Gast Giacomo Ancillotto an der Gitarre. Meister ihres Instruments sind sie alle - herausragend neben Rava selbst sind vor allem der quasi als Co-Leader aufspielende Gianluca Petrella an der Posaune und der Pianist Giovanni Guidi (Jahrgang 1985 - eine echte Entdeckung!). Das beginnt erst einmal etwas elegisch, verhalten, als müsse das Feld erst bereitet werden für das, was kommen mag. Und: Da kommt noch eine ganze Menge! Sämtliche Stücke wirken einesteils wie aufs i-Tüpfelchen auskomponiert, und zugleich doch so "leicht" und frei wie eine spontane Improvisation - allerdings eine, bei der alle Beteiligten in Höchstform kommunizierend genau im selben Moment die genau richtigen Einfälle haben. Da möchte man doch, dieses Quintett im Ohr, weit hinausfahren in die Nacht, irgendwo auf einer Waldlichtung stehen bleiben, dem Mond beim Wandern zusehen und mit der rotierenden CD im Player auf den Morgentau warten. Oder so. Man kann aber auch ganz gemütlich zu Hause bleiben, ein Gläschen Wein oder zwei, kein Fernseher, kein Internet, kein i-Phone - nur Ravas Mannen im unermüdlichen Einsatz. UND man kann natürlich die Band auf einem Konzert erleben, was sowieso das beste wäre, weil man dann dieser stets spannenden, stets hochkonzentriert gebannten Musik im Entstehen zusehen könnte. Aber bis das Rava-Quintett das nächste Mal in der Stadt ist, tut es auch diese CD: ein Meisterwerk!

great stuff

A bit to elevator music and disjointed. Probably good if you like that type of jazz.
