She was born in Florence, on July 30, 1954, to Florentine parents, who rarely set their sights on Italy. In the house we listened to the songs in vogue, jazz and classical music. Barbara played the piano, the guitar, but above all sang, of everything: the Beatles, Rita Pavone, Mina. Then one day "new" records arrived, a new sound coming from overseas: the Bossa Nova . Barbara was fifteen years old. Thus began his love for Brazilian music , an extraordinary love that never ended, and which, once grown, pushed her to a turning point in life: despite her degree in psychology, she abandoned the project to become a psychoanalyst and decide to be a singer. He throws himself into the frantic search for everything concerning Brazil, music, literature and the Portuguese language itself. Finally in 1982 he made his first trip to that dreamed land. Elis Regina has been dead for a year and Barbara has already internalized her way of singing, she knows every breath, every smile and every tear that comes out of Elis's song. On that first trip he fills a suitcase with records , and the soul of sounds and names! He realizes that there is an unknown and wonderful world of composers, musicians, and performers who open new horizons to explore. When Barbara returns to Brazil, she goes a long way, from Rio to S Luis do Maranhão, "discovers" the Nordeste, re-falls in love, meets Luiz Gonzaga while she is recording her latest album just before she dies, learns her songs and those of Geraldo Azevedo, Xangai, Jatobá. His repertoire changes radically: Barbara in Italy spreads the popular music of that different Brazil, plays the triangle and the zabumba, canta côco e baião, maracatu and bumba meu boi, once again he enjoys and is moved. In the meantime he forms the Trio OUTRO LADO with Beppe Fornaroli and Naco , with whom he records an LP, "Outro Lado", (reprinted on CD by Philology in 1999). Many years pass, many journeys, many meetings. In 1994 he formed a quartet with Stefano Bollani on the piano, Raffaello Pareti on the double bass and Francesco Petreni on drums, a group that remained active until the early 2000s. He collaborates with great Italian and foreign musicians of the jazz scene (Enrico Rava, Stefano Bollani, Fabrizio Bosso, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz) and Brazilian Popular Music, such as Toninho Horta and Guinga, and participates with various formations in the most important Italian festivals. Along his more than thirty-year career he also engages with jazz and with Italian and French songs. Translate By Google http://www.barbaracasini.it/barbara-casini-biografia/
This hugely popular trumpet player (born in Trieste, Italy in 1939) almost single-handedly brought Italian jazz to international attention. He began playing Dixieland trombone in Turin, but after hearing Miles Davis, switched instruments and embraced the modern style. Other key meetings were with Gato Barbieri, with whom he recorded movie soundtracks in 1962, and Chet Baker. He began to play with Steve Lacy and also teamed up with South African expatriates Louis Moholo and John Dyani and recorded The Forest and the Zoo (ESP) live in Argentina. In 1967, he moved to New York, playing with Roswell Rudd, Marion Brown, Rashied Ali, Cecil Taylor, and Charlie Haden. In a brief return to Europe, Rava recorded with Lee Konitz (Stereokonitz, RCA) and Manfred Schoof (European Echoes, FMP). From 1969 to 1976, he was back in New York, recording Escalator Over the Hill with Carla Bley's Jazz Composers' Orchestra. After his first album as a leader, Il Giro del Giorno in 80 Mondi (Black Saint), he began to lead his own pianoless quartets and quintets. His recorded output numbers over 100 records, and over 30 as a leader. ECM has reissued some of his essential recordings of the '70s, like The Pilgrim and the Stars, The Plot, and Enrico Rava Quartet, while Soul Note and Label Bleu published CDs by his innovative Electric Five (in reality a sextet, as he always excludes himself from the count), which includes two electric guitars. With keyboard master Franco D'Andrea and trumpeter Paolo Fresu, Rava recorded Bix and Pop (Philology) and Shades of Chet, tributes to Bix Beiderbecke and Armstrong, and to Chet Baker, respectively. Also of note are Rava, L'opera Va and Carmen, gorgeous readings of opera arias. In 2001, he created a new quintet with young talents Gianluca Petrella, Stefano Bollani, Rosario Bonaccorso, and Roberto Gatto, and toured with old friends Roswell Rudd and Gato Barbieri, releasing Easy Living with them in 2004 on ECM. Three years later, after Bollani, who had struck out as a solo player, was replaced by Andrea Pozza, The Words and the Days came out. In 2007, Rava and pianist Stefano Bollani released The Third Man on ECM. Rava followed the release in 2009 with New York Days, a collection of moody originals with a film noir tinge, backed by a band that included Bollani, tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Paul Motian. Rava broke in a new all-Italian quintet for Tribe, which was issued by ECM in the fall of 2011. Its members included trombonist Gianluca Petrella, pianist Giovanni Guidi, bassist Gabriele Evangelista, and drummer Fabrizio Sferra. Guitarist Giacomo Ancillotto also guested on the set, expanding the lineup on various selections. Rava made a wide left turn for 2012's On the Dance Floor. Amazingly, the trumpeter only became aware of pop singer Michael Jackson's music after his death, and he became obsessed with it. The album, his tribute to what he considers the late singer's contribution to 20th century music, was recorded with Parco della Musica Jazz Lab at the Rome Auditorium; it is entirely comprised of Jackson's material. In 2019, he appeared alongside saxophonist Joe Lovano on the live ECM date Roma. Translate By Google ~ Francesco Martinelli https://www.allmusic.com/artist/enrico-rava-mn0000182392/biography
