Living in New York, the Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava was one of the world's leading free jazz musicians of the 1970s avant-garde. Rava's visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1975 brought about an album: Aga Taura Confab - 'El Convidado'. The idea was to record the guest trumpeter with four of the very best Argentinian musicians: pianist Fernando Gelbard, bassist Adalberto Cevasco, drummer N�stor Astarita and percussionist Juan "Chango" Far�as G�mez (who is better known simply as Chango Far�as). This album is a re-release of that legendary LP, for all purposes lost after its original release in 1975/76. It is a restored version of the original album with until now unpublished recording session photos by photographer Gianni Mestichelli. 'El Convidado' was originally produced by the late and legendary Nano Herrera. The set is eclectic and beautiful, with rare trumpet-piano duets, musicians that had played with many of the greats such as Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald, Herb Geller and Lalo Schifrin, Fender Rhodes pianos, African influenced rhythmic figures and a climax of free improv build-ups. It is a record which is equally dynamic as it is melodic and poignant. Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl.
