I havent seen Rava this engaged in his music since he played with Paolo Fresu in Montreal. Mark Turner is the perfect foil for him and his New York Unit far exceeds the Italian group he has been recording with for some time on ECM. The Birdland engagement was testament to this. Look he's not the Rava of the Pilgrim and the Stars but that was over 30 years ago. His sound is flawless, the ideas are strong. His playing is quite remarkable for his age. A sky full of stars for this date.

I have no idea what the more "negative" reviewers are listening to. Its a great recording.

The Lion of Trieste roars again.

This is my first experience with the Italian trumpet player Enrico Rava's work and I am impressed. To me, it captures the essence of an idealized New York urban street - a moment in time, perhaps a better time - certainly one rich in nostalgia, affording quiet contemplation and the conjuring of memories, fond and some not so.

The opening track, Lulù, is perfectly sparse - featuring a delicate interplay between the trumpet and piano, with the musicians enjoying and sharing the spaces within a tune. This sets the tone of the album - exploration, individual themes merging momentarily and then splitting once more. The second track Improvisation I is an unconscious extension of this approach - the musicians simply exploring the space, sensing out the boundaries. In Outsider the boundaries begin to be tested - it begins with an up-tempo bass run, with bursts of trumpet and more predominant brushwork splashes on Brian Blade's part.

There are truly transcendent moments within this album which are worth the price of entry alone - Count Dracula (in addition to featuring a beautiful modal piano intro) conspires to build an incredible soaring theme between the trumpet and saxophone from out of a low-key maelstrom for instance. Lady Orlando and Blancasnow are stand out tracks that capture the mood of the album. In general, he music is complex and spatially very rich mining a down-tempo improvisatory approach which may not appeal to everyone's tastes but there is a depth and passion underpinning the album that will reward deeper reflective listening.

Like most ECM studio discs these days, this album sticks mostly to the "slow and introspective" end of the spectrum. This means that you won't get anything hard-swinging.

That said, after multiple spins the strong quality of the music begins to emerge. Given the ensemble and the dark sound, Miles Davis's 2nd Great Quintet is the obvious reference point. If you like the ballads on "Sorcerer" or "Nefertiti", this will be right up your alley. Enrico Rava and Mark Turner develop a strong chemistry; Larry Grenadier and Stefano Bollani are great as well. Really, my only complaint is about Paul Motian, who is incredibly restrained through most of the disc. The guy is a great texturalist, no doubt, but it's a shame we don't get to hear him thrash around that much. The compositions are generally excellent and, once they reveal their secrets, memorable.

Maybe I'll revise my rating for this later to the full 5, but one thing for sure - it doesn't deserve a low or medium rating.
