Found this CD in my old drawer. Rip it into FLAC and have been listening to it non stop. For some reason it really calms me down. Love it!

[size=medium]It's taken [/size][size=medium]Enrico Rava[/size][size=medium], the [/size][size=medium]Miles Davis[/size][size=medium]-inspired trumpeter from Trieste, until his 70s to hit the dance floor. This live album is dedicated to [/size][size=medium]Michael Jackson[/size][size=medium], who Rava said he didn't discover until the singer's death – and then became obsessed with. Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Blood on the Dance Floor and other classics make up a track list exuberantly performed last year by Rome's Parco della Musica [/size][size=medium]Jazz[/size][size=medium] Lab, a young workshop band led by trombonist Mauro Ottolini, whose arrangements these are. A wonderful ballad-player, Rava plays Speechless rather as [/size][size=medium]Davis played Jackson's Human Nature[/size][size=medium], and boiling groovers like Thriller in flashes of shrill improv over tuba riffs and rumbling congas. Privacy is an electric guitar and soul-sax maelstrom, Smile is a New Orleans street march strut, and Little Susie (the best track) features Rava in Mediterranean heat-haze mode, before a lilting waltz partnership with Danielle Tittarelli's alto sax. It sounds like a laid-back jazz group having a party, not a Quincy Jones band nailing every hit, but it's a real tribute, not a lament for lost youth.[/size]
