Wild Dance is an album by Italian trumpeter and composer Enrico Rava's Quartet with trombonist Gianluca Petrella recorded in 2015 and released on the ECM label.
[1][2] All About Jazz reviewer Mark Sullivan called it "Another very enjoyable recording from the ever-reliable trumpeter" and said, "Here's hoping for many more small group projects from him.
[3] In The Guardian, John Fordham wrote "Rava’s Miles-inspired lyricism and tone control on slow music often takes centre stage in his work, but though the softly meditative "Space Girl" (with its distant intimations of drum uprisings that don't materialise), or the wistful "Sola" and "Overboard" show that side of him, the blurted Ornette Coleman-like flurries of "Infant" or "Happy Shades", the guitar-driven swinger "Cornette", or the soft bop "F Express", over the excellent Enrico Morello's bustling brushwork, represent effortlessly inventive uptempo jazz playing.
The closing "Frogs", with its upwardly scuttling two-horn melody over guitar and bass vamps and its rattling drumwork, is the tour de force".
Diodati does not so much accompany Rava as array shifting backgrounds containing strands of independent thought and pools of light.
