Recorded during a spellbinding performance in Italy at Jazz a Forlì in November 2024, La Giostra captures the magic of an unexpected yet natural meeting between two unique musical worlds. On one side, Guano Padano – Alessandro “Asso” Stefana, Zeno De Rossi, and Danilo Gallo – known for their evocative blend of cinematic desertscapes, western dust, and psychedelic jazz. On the other, Enrico Rava – a poetic and visionary composer who has graced the global jazz scene for decades with his unmistakable lyricism and fiery spirit.
The album unfolds like a circular journey, suspended between reality and imagination. Slow, meditative passages give way to sudden bursts of energy; Rava’s luminous trumpet lines weave seamlessly through Guano Padano’s richly cinematic textures. The result is a sonic fresco of rare beauty – steeped in dust, nostalgia, and glimpses of the future.
