Enrico Pieranunzi- Live at the Bird's Eye
Enrico Pieranunzi recorded live and in a superb setting. Here he performs the music of Autour de Martinu. While enjoying this recording, it quickly becomes clear why Enrico Pieranunzi is regarded as one of Italy's greatest living artists. A superior post-bop pianist influenced by Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner but long possessing his own sound, Enrico Pieranunzi is one of the top jazz pianists living in Italy. Pieranunzi became a professional when he was 19, playing with trombonist Marcello Rosa's quartet. Since then, in addition to leading his own groups, Pieranunzi has worked with many top players (both Europeans and Americans) including Franco Ambrosetti, Chet Baker, Benny Bailey, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Haden, Jim Hall, Lee Konitz, Sal Nistico, Enrico Rava, Tony Scott, Kai Winding, and Phil Woods. After the turn of the millennium his CDs have often appeared on the CamJazz label, including recordings - Play Morricone (2002), Current Conditions and Play Morricone, Vol. 2 (both 2003), Ballads (2006), Live in Japan (2007), and Dream Dance (2009) - with a trio featuring drummer Joey Baron and bassist Marc Johnson.
