Tribe is an album by Italian jazz trumpeter and composer Enrico Rava's Quintet recorded in Italy in 2010 and released on the ECM label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "whether things get woolly and rugged or remain spacious and melodic, lyricism itself is still at the core, and in this, according to Rava, is a much greater freedom to explore. Given the lovely sonic evidence on Tribe, his position is difficult to argue with. This is a band that is exciting, fresh, and inventive. How they grow will be fascinating to observe".^[2]
