Jazzit, no. 73: „Sketches of Rava“, Kapitel „Tra ECM e Soul Note“, Abschnitt „Volver“
Luciano Vanni
Cover story “Sketches of Rava” in the Italian jazz magazine Jazzit on the trumpeter Enrico Rava, written by Luciano Vanni, the magazine’s director according to the masthead. In the chapter on the years 1975 to 1991, the section “Volver” tells how in October 1986, after five years, Rava recorded again for ECM, the renowned European jazz label, as co-leader alongside the Argentine bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi. Vanni names Furio Di Castri (double bass), Bruce Ditmas (drums) and Harry Pepl (guitar) as the members of the quintet; the album was released two years later under the title “Volver”.

AllMusic (US-Musikdatenbank mit Kritiken, gegründet 1991): AllMusic Review: „Volver“
Scott Yanow
Capsule review in AllMusic, the US music database with reviews founded in 1991, of the ECM album “Volver” by the quintet of Enrico Rava and Dino Saluzzi, recorded in October 1986 at Tonstudio Bauer in Ludwigsburg, Germany, with Harry Pepl on guitar, Furio Di Castri on bass and Bruce Ditmas on drums. The US jazz critic Scott Yanow finds that Rava’s introverted yet inwardly passionate playing matches Saluzzi’s modern tangos well; the result is fairly accessible yet still exploratory, “An intriguing set”. AllMusic gives it 3 out of 5 stars. The review is undated and has been online since 2012 at the latest; the track list gives Pepl’s “Ballantine for Valentine” as track 5.
Rava’s introverted yet inwardly passionate playing matches well with Saluzzi’s modern tangos, and the results are fairly accessible yet still exploratory.
