Rather than a straight blowing session, this is a relaxed, panoramic meeting of two veteran jazz players conversing in the wise evening of their careers. Although he has appeared on previous ECM recordings from Paul Motian, John Abercrombie and Steve Kuhn, Joe Lovano—a post-bop traditionalist who has grown more adventurous—appears here on only his second ECM date as co-leader, marking the occasion by playing both the tenor saxophone and the tárogató, a Hungarian single-reed woodwind that looks like a large clarinet but with a more saxophone-like resonance. His bluesy original "Fort Worth," which subtly nods towards that Texas city's famous jazz duo of Dewey Redman and Ornette Coleman, is where he and Rava begin to mesh, their playing intertwining, the tempos and emotions heightened in both the solos and duet passages. Enrico Rava, once a free player who continues to show the influence of Dizzy Gillespie, is heard here only on flugelhorn with its distinct mournful tone. He tentatively leads the slow blossoming opening track, a slow, meditative reading of his own composition, "Interiors." Produced by Manfred Eicher and recorded live Rome at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, this quintet recording also features budding superstar pianist Giovanni Guidi, bassist Dezron Douglas and drummer Gerald Cleaver. The set comes to a thrilling conclusion on the remarkable, nearly 19-minute give-and-take suite of Lovano's "Drum Song," John Coltrane's "Spiritual" and the immortal "Over the Rainbow," where the interplay of intellects (and Guidi's lustrous playing) make this long overdue meeting between preeminent instrumental jazz voices worth the wait. © Robert Baird / Qobuz
