Description
Their collaboration has been hailed as a summit meeting of two jazz masters Enrico Rava, trumpeter from Trieste, and Fred Hersch, pianist from Cincinatti, share a deep affection for the tradition and a profound sense for melodic invention.
In this recording, with flugelhorn and piano glowing in the superb acoustic of the Lugano studio, Rava and Hersch explore some much-loved standards: Jerome Kerns The Song Is You, Thelonious Monks Mysterioso and Round Midnight, Jobims Retrato em Branco e Preto, and George Bassmans Im Getting Sentimental Over You. They also play their own tunes, Freds Childs Song and Enricos The Trial, and improvise freely together.
Enrico Rava has been an ECM artist for almost fifty years. The Song Is You is Fred Herschs first for the label. The album was recorded at Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI in November 2021, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
