Giovanni Guidi: This is the day 2015

This Is The Day is Giovanni Guidi"'s second album as a leader for ECM, following on from the 2012 recording City of Broken Dreams. The young Italian pianist, born in Foligno in 1985, was launched on the international stage in the groups of Enrico Rava. After being struck by the concentrated, impassioned qualities of the young pianist"'s playing during the summer courses of Siena Jazz, Rava invited him into his band, and has since recorded with him on the ECM albums Tribe (with the Rava quintet) and On The Dance Floor, a live album with the Parco della Musica Jazz Lab in Rome.
