Release Notes:
They have been playing together since the early 1990s, Bollani
hailing trumpeter Rava as his mentor, and Rava regarding Bollani
as ôperhaps the most gifted pianist since Art Tatumö. After RavaÆs
highly acclaimed ôEasy Livingö (quintet featuring Bollani) and the
Rava/Bollani/Paul Motian collaboration ôTatiö, 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 û 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 EicherÆs supervision, into
a unique programme. The repertoire includes compositions by each
of the protagonists, two takes of Antonio Carlos JobimÆs famous
ballad ôRetrato Em Branco Y Pretoö, a reinvention of ôEstateö by
the Italian singer Bruno Martino (whose own inspirations included
Neapolitan folk song as well as jazz ) and spontaneous ûyet
profoundly melodic û free improvisation on the title track.
