Trumpeter Enrico Rava and his quartet (with guitaristHarry Pepl, bassist Furio Di Castri and drummer Bruce Ditmas meet the Argentinian bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi on six group originals. Rava’s introverted yet inwardly passionate playing matches well with Saluzzi’s modern tangos, and the results are fairly accessible yet still exploratory. An intriguing set. - Scott Yanow
