乐队介绍:
Enrico Rava
This hugely popular trumpet player (born in Trieste, 1939) almost single-handedly brought Italian jazz to international attention. He began playing Dixieland trombone in Turin, but after hearing Miles Davis, switched instruments and embraced the modern style. Other key meetings were with Gato Barbieri, with whom he recorded movie soundtracks in 1962, and with Chet Baker. Right after, he began to play with Steve Lacy; he also teamed up with South African expatriates Louis Moholo and John Dyani and recorded The Forest and the Zoo (ESP) live in Argentina. In 1967 he moved to New York, playing with Roswell Rudd, Marion Brown, Rashied Ali, Cecil Taylor, and Charlie Haden. In a brief return to Europe, Rava recorded with Lee Konitz (Stereokonitz, RCA) and Manfred Schoof (European Echoes, FMP). From 1969 to 1976, he was back in New York, recording Escalator Over the Hill with Carla Bley’s Jazz Composers’ Orchestra (JCOA). After his first album as a leader, Il Giro del Giorno in 80 Mondi (Black Saint), he’s been leading his own pianoless quartets/quintets. His recorded output numbers 100 records, 30 as a leader.
ECM has reissued some of his essential recordings of the ’70s, like The Pilgrim and the Stars, The Plot, and E. R. Quartet, while Soul Note and Label Bleu published CDs by his innovative Electric Five (in reality a sextet, as he always excludes himself from the count), which includes two electric guitars. With keyboard master Franco D’Andrea and trumpeter Paolo Fresu, Rava recorded Bix and Pop (Philology) and Shades of Chet, tributes to Bix Beiderbecke and Armstrong, and to Chet Baker, respectively. Also of note are Rava, l’Opera Va and Carmen, gorgeous readings of opera arias. In 2001 he created a new quintet with young talents Gianluca Petrella, Stefano Bollani, Rosario Bonaccorso, and Roberto Gatto, and toured with old friends Roswell Rudd and Gato Barbieri, releasing Easy Living with them in 2004 on ECM. Three years later, after Bollani, who had struck out as a solo player, was replaced by Andrea Pozza, The Words and the Days came out.
Stefano Bollani
Jazz pianist Stefano Bollani was born in Milan, Italy, on December 5, 1972. He began playing piano as a child in order to accompany his singing, but soon concentrated solely on the instrument, enrolling in a conservatory in Florence when he was 11. There, he studied both jazz and pop music, and after graduating in 1993, added his keyboard skills to albums for many of Italy’s top pop stars, including Laura Pausini, Irene Grandi, and Jovanotti. When working with the latter in 1996 he met avant-garde jazz trumpeter Enrico Rava, who invited the young pianist to play with him in Paris, an opportunity Bollani quickly accepted. He then began to release more jazz albums, first with his trio (completed by bassist Ares Tavolazzi and drummer Walter Paoli) but also as a solo artist (like on 2003’s Småt Småt and 2006’s Piano Solo) as well as with other trios (2002’s Fleurs Bleues drew from the talents of bassist Scott Colley and drummer Clarence Penn, while 2005’s Gleda: Songs from Scandinavia used Jesper Bodilsen and Morten Lund) and even a quintet (2006’s I Visionari). Bollani has also appeared on stages at the Umbria and Montreal Jazz Festivals, among others, and has performed with musicians like Gato Barbieri, Lee Konitz, Pat Metheny, Paolo Fresu, and Phil Woods.
专辑介绍:
They have been playing together since the early 1990s, Bollani hailing trumpeter Rava as his mentor, and Rava regarding Bollani as “perhaps the most gifted pianist since Art Tatum”. After Rava’s highly acclaimed “Easy Living” (quintet featuring Bollani) and the Rava/Bollani/Paul Motian collaboration “Tati”, comes this superb duo set, recorded in Lugano in November 2006. Here is marvellous linear playing and melodies plucked from the air, two master improvisers making freely lyrical jazz together – inspired by jazz history, South American music (an important source for both musicians), the Italian song tradition, contemporary composition and more, all developed, under Manfred Eicher’s supervision, into a unique programme. The repertoire includes compositions by each of the protagonists, two takes of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s famous ballad “Retrato Em Branco Y Preto”, a reinvention of “Estate” by the Italian singer Bruno Martino (whose own inspirations included Neapolitan folk song as well as jazz ) and spontaneous –yet profoundly melodic – free improvisation on the title track.

一如封面一般，这是一张冷艳的唱片。
来自意大利的两位音乐家在这个2007年的初冬带给大家一张和冬天一样黑冷的唱片，不同的是，其实这声音多么象黄昏时从邻家大叔家里传来的饭菜香气，在清冷中透出一丝若有似无的熟悉，让人不由得壮志全消，甘愿在炉火旁读书、喝茶然后垂垂老矣。
Enrico Rava，老牌的意大利小号手，欧洲爵士音乐界相当当的人物，小号在他手里成为一种完美的表达工具。
Stefano Bollani，意大利的钢琴师，在钢琴的旋律里，美丽无处不在。黑白键盘造就的氛围里，销魂、忘忧。
喜欢这首歌还是看到唱片封面之后。黑色的光亮、颗粒感。以两个老男人为中心再加上钢琴的背景，让人不由得想起，当我去的时候，是否也能如此宁静。
冬日的午后，聆听这张唱片，抱住暖暖的水杯，任由思路天马行空，有时奢望，有些幻想，只是一种无以言传的情绪，这不正是爵士的态度吗？
