The Pilgrim and the Stars

The Pilgrim and the Stars is an album by Italian jazz trumpeter and composer Enrico Rava recorded in June 1975 and released on ECM later that year—his debut for the label. The quartet features rhythm section John Abercrombie, Palle Danielsson and Jon Christensen.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Matt Collar awarded the album 4 stars stating:"'Enrico Rava's debut for ECM, 1975's The Pilgrim and the Stars, is a stellar progressive jazz effort from the Italian trumpeter who was then just coming into his own... This is just the kind of contemplative and experimental Euro-jazz that ECM made its name on, but with some seriously cinematic post-bop guts. In that sense, The Pilgrim and the Stars sounds something akin to a soundtrack to a '70s neo-noir film—albeit a deliciously avant-garde one.'"
