It was only after Michael Jackson’s death that Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava gradually became aware that he had for many years been ignoring, in his words, “one of the great protagonists of 20th century music and dance. A total artist. A perfectionist. A genius. I felt the need to delve more deeply into Michael’s world. There was only one way to do that: play his songs.” Thus this live album, recorded at the Rome Auditorium with the Parco della Musica Jazz Lab. Enrico’s trumpet is at its most extroverted here, vaulting above the spirited arrangements by Mauro Ottolini. Michael Jackson’s protean pop songs have never been heard quite like this. Rava is currently playing European festivals with this programme.[ECM]

ОтветитьУдалитьIt's very interesting that one of the best tribute to Michael comes from the jazz world. Even great that comes from an Italian, wo made with all respect a jazz tribute to this pop-icon. Now, that ECMrecords produces this recording it's other record of this production. Great for Enrico, RIP Michael, ru, thanks for sharing this recording.
