Enrico Rava
String Band
Soul Note (Italy) 1984
SN 1114 (LP)
sleeve : EX(wear on corner.)
media : EX-/EX(some slightly surface noises, side A has two slightly wear)
An album released in 1984 by Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava, who has also left quality works for ECM and JAPO. Except for Rava's trumpet and Nana Vasconcelos' berimbau and percussion, the band is composed entirely of strings. A1/B4, with Nana's earthy and rhythmic voice and percussion, are masterpieces that gently envelop the space with a sound full of peaceful atmosphere while incorporating ethnic tastes to the full. His abstract free jazz is great, but this is still not to be missed.
B4: Sensatez
