“ If you count in Italian, it doesn't work.— bandleader Enrico Rava, on why he starts songs by "counting off" in English
Although he isn’t a household name in the U.S., trumpeter Enrico Rava is one of Italy’s best known jazz artists. His latest album is called Tribe, and includes several pieces that the 72-year-old has recorded before. But this time, they’ve been played by a quintet comprised of several up-and-coming Italian musicians who are new to Rava’s group. They join us to play live.
