Reviews
The Italian tenorist Ada Rovatti is another youngster successfully poking around in the hard-bop attic. Rovatti's album Under the Hat (Sunnyside) reveals a technically fluent and musical improviser in the manner of many 30- and 40-something post-Coltrane saxophonists. Rovatti plays tenor with a full, edgy, Michael Brecker-ish sound. Her lines are loose and lively; tied none too firmly to the beat, they more often float above it.Chris Kelsey
