Enrico Rava, tireless as usual, no matter he’s almost 76, is leading a brand new quartet calling by his side three very young talents and giving life to the “RAVA NEW 4ET”.
FRANCESCO DIODATI: he belongs to the large crowd of young italian jazz musicians in rising (not national) success.
The most peculiar aspects of his “artistic way of living music” are: strongly clear ideas and a strict desire to share his musical language with other musicians belonging to his generation. What Diodati gives jazz music is a contemporary approach in which the sense of history and a huge auditory universe live side by side.
Electronic effects, widely used and built on skillfully technical competence of acoustic and electric guitar, reflect a new idea of music that expand “six strings” physical borders.
GABRIELE EVANGELISTA is one of the most creative and eclectic italian bass players. He is the latest Rava’s talent discovery.
Noticed during one of the summer jazz masterclasses in Siena, He is musically growing incredibly quickly, gaining successes every day more.
He’s very esteemed for his extraordinaries abilities, such as: precision, a mad creativity and an amazing interplay.
ENRICO MORELLO is a drummer by the polished drumming. He can count on a strong academic training and on a long series of international experiences, rare for the largest number of his equals in age.
He plays his instrument with strong passion and extreme competence.
He is an inquiring musician. His love for tradition gives him, not only, an amazing “swing ability”, but also a great sense of dynamic choices.
At the same time, he is a musician who looks forward, always occupied in a personal research, from jazz to the rest of musical universe.
