Enrico Rava, Fearless Five with Joe Lovano | New Album Out Now

Enrico Rava’s new album "Corners", featuring his Fearless Five group and Joe Lovano, is out now. You can listen and buy the album on CD here: https://ecm.lnk.to/Corners The Italian trumpeter and long-time label-companion Enrico Rava has once again surrounded himself with a new generation of Italian players eager to defy the paradigm: Matteo Paggi on trombone, Francesco Diodati on guitar, Francesco Ponticelli on double bass and Evita Polidoro on drums and vocals. As a collective they call themselves the Fearless Five – an all-Italian-quintet joined here by guest saxophonist Joe Lovano for an album of originals exclusively, fashioned with a sense of adventure and panache as the Italo-American connection draws from a common pool of imagination. "The music on ‘Corners’ is full of bite and determination, yet at the same time characterised by great openness, plenty of space (especially for the two protagonists, Rava and Lovano), plenty of freedom (including in collective improvisations) and a deep love of melody. Rava esteso, so to speak. Rava extended." – Weltwoche Website: https://www.ecmrecords.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ecmrecords Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecm_records
