The song is you

"A seemingly unlikely duo at first glance, trumpeter Enrico Rava and pianist Fred Hersch prove to be an intuitive pairing on their first collaboration ... With 'The Song Is You' they take a refreshingly uncomplicated approach, playing a mix of standards and originals in a laidback and off-the-cuff manner that still feels deeply thoughtful. While most of the standards here are well-worn (...), they are anything but predictable. Rava and Hersch delve deep inside their combined sound, playing off each other's lines with a playful inventiveness".

"Far from being simply an enjoyable wallow in nostalgia, The Song Is You travels down unfamiliar paths while, reassuringly, never losing sight of its starting points ... Every jazz fan probably knows each of these tunes as well as anything else one could name in the jazz standards canon, but Rava and Hersch's versions are as fresh and full of new promise as a spring morning. A quietly sensational album".
