	Splendid Magazine reviews Enrico Rava: Easy Living
		The group cooks on "Algir Dalbughi"; Rava and Petrella prove to be a fearsome duo, playing complex rhythms with a strong sense of ensemble.
		Rava's solos on "Sand" tread the fine line between "in" and "out" playing -- he weaves chromatic and wide-ranging melodies, frequently ending phrases with lung-busting high notes.
		Rava's reading pays homage to Baker, but also imparts some of his own spacious sense of phrasing to an atmospheric take on the composition.

	Enrico Rava: La Dolce Vita & Full of Life
		Ravaâs approach is wholly melodic with simple lines where he finds âall the pretty notes.â Rava is conservative with improvisation, never losing site of the melody which spawned his explorations.
		Rava and Girotto follow one another through the head arrangement in a way reminiscent of Miles Davis and John Coltrane on Gil Evansâ seminal quintet arrangement of ââRound Midnight.â The relationship of brass to reeds is one of counterpoint, each instrument touching the other at precise harmonic times.
		Rava drops notes, adds notes, until by the end of the head it is apparent what the song is. Girotto provides a bouncy baritone behind Rava and when the two trade solo places, Rava does the same.

	* Dusted Reviews - Enrico Rava *
		On Easy Living, the venerable Enrico Rava returns to the ECM label for the first time since 1987, having spent the intervening years producing a number of concept records for other labels.
		Rava was originally a trombonist, but switched to trumpet after seeing Miles Davis perform.
		Rava's take is nice, but it's a short, relatively minor item when compared to some of the album's other pieces.

	ECM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Enrico Rava may shift between abstraction and structure but he mostly plays the trumpet with a warm, mellow sound — smooth and intoxicating.
		Apart from the venerable jazz standard that gives the album its title, Rava’s new disc is comprised of original compositions, including a new look at “Blancasow” the yearning ballad that originally concluded his ECM debut album, “The Pilgrim And The Stars” back in 1975.
		In Italy he continues to be lionized and a Rava biography-in-interviews, “Note Necessarie”, is scheduled for March publication (by noted Italian publishing house Minimum Fax) — concurrently with the release of “Easy Living” and a major Rome auditorium concert on March 11th.

	Jazz ENRICO RAVA/ JAZZPAR 2002 SEXTET World Music at Global Rhythm - The Destination for World Music
		Italian jazzista Enrico Rava's love for Miles Davis' music drove him to trumpet and flugelhorn, and he got his official start in 1964 scoring soundtracks with Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri before releasing his own album two years later.
		Rava hasn't paused to take a breath since, and was the lucky 13th (and first Italian) to bag the prestigious JAZZPAR Prize, which is grudgingly doled out to jazz laureates each year.
		Rava made a light-hearted remark about enjoying a prize with hefty funds.

		Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava’s return, after a 17 year absence, to ECM with “Easy Living” was widely celebrated.
		One of the leading architects of Italian jazz, Enrico Rava was also one of the first Europeans to find wholehearted acceptance from New York’s players.
		He has described Enrico Rava as his “mentor”, and indeed Rava encouraged him in his transition from the rock and pop world to jazz.

		In the end, Rava's approach was decidedly closer to Hargrove's than to the suggestion-or some writer's fantasy-of a European leading edge of jazz.
		At the intimate chapel Salle du Gesu, Rava opened in duet with the over-animated pianist Stefano Bollani, whose capacity is enormous, finesse limited.
		Rava closed his series in the familiar company of his Electric Five Project, provocatively opposite a Miles Davis tribute gig by Wallace Roney in another hall.

		Rava is a true pioneer in Italian jazz.
		He is arguably Italy's leading jazz musician but amazingly he will be touring the UK for the first time in May. Now in his 66th year, his new album on the ECM label "Easy Living" finds Rava playing with real inspiration and more eloquent than ever.
		Jazzwise magazine was full of praise: "Quite simply it numbers amongst the best jazz albums of the last decade"; and upon winning the prestigious Jazzpar prize in 2002 the jury declared "Rava has proven himself adept at many styles...His bittersweet music does not fit neatly into any one genre.

	Blue Note New York Performance Schedule
		Enrico Rava, born in Trieste in 1939, is undoubtedly the most internationally acknowledged Italian jazzman.
		In those years he also met Don Cherry, Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy, with whom he played free jazz in a quartet alternating between London and Buenos Aires (it is in Argentina in 1966 that the quartet recorded the album "The Forest and the Zoo").
		Rava has several times been elected best musician in the annual referendum conducted by "Musica Jazz", and has also won the title in the "best group" and "best italian album" categories.

	CD Review of Enrico Rava - Easy Living on ECM Records @ jazzreview.com
		World-class trumpeter Enrico Rava has demonstrated ease of comfort within hard-bop circles, mainstream, ethereal vistas, and journeys into the freer side of matters.
		Rava and company often soar skyward, but more within a thoughtful and purposeful way.
		Nonetheless, a masterful piece of writing by Rava, where the catchy hook boasts a hybrid pop-R&B melody fused with a translucent element of progressive jazz.

	Guardian \| Enrico Rava
		He's known as one of Europe's most prominent Miles Davis torch-bearers, but a talent for wounded introspection is just one of Enrico Rava's more compelling qualities.
		An interesting dynamic was quickly established between Rava's gently glowing lyricism and the scatter-shot honking of Gianluca Petrella.
		A Miles-style ballad brought a change of mood, with Rava reaching cautiously for his notes as if frightened by the emotional burden that playing them might bring.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Enrico Rava, Easy Living
		Nowadays, Enrico appears to have settled down when compared to the work he did with Roswell Rudd, Tony Oxley, the Jazz Composer's Orchestra or, more recently, the Italian Instabile Orchestra; on the cover, he reclines restfully, bathed in lambent light, evoking the musical mood within.
		The compositions are Enrico's own, apart from the title track standard, a tune which is brushed over lightly, almost like a melodic sketch.
		Rava races off in a trilling hurry, alternating with a garrulous Petrella.

	Enrico Rava \| TATI
		Rava shares this aesthetic with his two supremely compatible partners.
		The relatively young, at thirty-something, Stefano Bollani, a frequent collaborator, is blessed with a melodicism as unquenchable as Rava's, and he's as likely to dart down unexpected, half-hidden passageways.
		Most of the material here is original, including six tracks by Rava, three by Motian, and one by Bollani, and the three voices mesh seamlessly.

	Enrico Rava : Enrico Rava Quartet - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This date, led by Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava, was one such.
		Joined by the ebullient and raucous trombone master Roswell Rudd, Rava fashioned a good, old-fashioned date with pieces ranging from elegiac to stomping.
		The opening "Lavori Gasalinghi" is often in the former category, its wistful theme recalling the work of another trumpeter affiliated with this label, Kenny Wheeler, the piece flowing from serene to an engaging storminess.

	Enrico Rava : Italian Ballads - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		On this CD, the lyrical trumpeter Enrico Rava performs themes from Fellini movies, operas and classical music, along with three originals by band members.
		Rava, guitarists Domenico Carliri and Roberto Cecchetto, and guest Richard Galliano on accordion get some individual improvisations, generally remaining within the mood of each piece while stretching its boundaries a bit.
		Barbara Casini's occasional vocals in Italian are a strong asset, and she comes across much closer to a bossa nova singer than to an opera star.

	CD Review of Enrico Rava - Full of Life on Cam Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		A first glance at the instrumentation of Enrico Rava's new CD "Full of Life" brings to mind the past pianoless groups led by Max Roach and particularly Gerry Mulligan.
		Rava possesses a distinctly modern approach to his improvising and a full, warm tone on his trumpet.
		This is a well-produced and recorded CD that should serve to introduce a greater American audience to these world-class Italian jazz artists.

	Tommaso-Rava Quartet: La Dolce Vita
		Rava is in excellent form throughout, demonstrating the fruits of a lifetime spent developing and refining his own voice on the trumpet.
		The grandfather of Italian jazz, at least partially responsible for the surge in young Italian jazz talent we see now, Rava is playing as well as ever and with a depth that only comes from years of playing.
		One thing worth noting is that this CD consists of material that was recorded in November 1999, and released in Europe in 2000.

		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.

	Enrico Rava: Full of Life
		This time the featured artist is trumpet and flugelhorn player Enrico Rava, featured on both the Tommaso-Rava Quartet’s La Dolce Vita and on the pianoless quartet CD Full of Life.
		Neither is the case here, as Girotto (a graduate of studies at the Music Conservatory in Cordoba, Argentina and Berklee College of Music in Boston) is the perfect match for Rava’s romantic style.
		Rava’s “Happiness Is To Win a Big Prize in Cash” rumbles along like a gaily-painted Baja dune buggy rolling along the Mexican countryside, serenaded by slightly off-kilter mariachis.
