Editor's Note
For you, a very rich end of October Foolk Magzine. As a start, here it is our cover story, which hosts Enrico Rava’s latest release “Roma", a live recorded album, where the notable Italian jazzman joined forces with saxophonist Joe Lovano in a stellar quintet including the pianist Giovanni Guidi and a dynamic and virtuoso rhythmic session showcasing drummer Gerald Cleaver and bassist Dezron Douglas. We have spoken to the trumpeter from Trieste, who tells about this new work published by the ECM with which he celebrates his 80th birthday. It’s world music-tinged jazz on “The Silver Messengers” by singer Carmen Souza, born in Lisbon within a family of Cape Verdeans, celebrating the life of and music of the pianist Horace Silver. We then present the successful collaboration between the Hungarian violinist Lajkó Félix and the Polish quintet Vołosi. From China, you’ll find “The Sound of Silk. Chinese Strings”, a outstanding recording by the venerable guqin master Li Xiantgting paired with the younger, but already celebrated guqin and pipe player, Cheng Yu. Back to Italy, for a step back in time to Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli’s Rome, which has been set to music by Valerio Billeri in his new album "Er Tempo Bbono". The live music page offers the chronicle of the English Folk Expo / Manchester Folk Festival, held in the north-west English city from 17 to 19 October. It follows the story of the XV edition of the Premio Bianca d'Aponte, which was held from 25 to 26 October in Aversa (Ce). In our reading column we review the issue # 25/26 of “La Piva dal Carner”, while for the contemporary music section there is “Electric Resistances”, a disc originated from the collaboration between the Zoo di Berlino and Patrizio Fariselli. We close with Valerio Corzani’s snap featuring Angolan vocalist Anabela Aya.
