About Me |
|
| Born in Rome in 1949, Enrico Pieranunzi has long been one of the best-known and appreciated personalities on the European jazz scene. Pianist, composer, arranger, he has recorded more than sixty CDs under his own name, ranging from solo piano to trio, and from duet to quintet. He has played in concert and in the studio with Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Marc Johnson, Joey Baron, Paul Motian, and Charlie Haden, performing at all the most important international festivals, from Montreal to Copenhagen, from Berlin to Madrid. In 2004 he toured Japan performing with his American trio, including bassist Marc Johnson amd drummer Joey Baron. In 2006 he toured Usa performing at “Birdland”, New York, with Marc Johnson amd Paul Motian and giving a solo piano recital at the San Francisco Jazz Festival.Pieranunzi’s formative years embraced both classical and jazz piano, and the influence of Debussy is readily apparent in the lush romanticism at the heart of his music. Emerging in the early ‘70s, Pieranunzi’s lyrical approach quickly brought him to the forefront of the European scene, and in 1984 he formed a trio with Marc Johnson and Joey baron, the first of several outstandig groups with American musicians. In 1989 and 2003 he was voted Musician of the Year in the Musica Jazz critic’s poll and he was 1997 recipient of the Django d’Or Award for best European Jazz Musician.In addition to recording many albums, he has written more than 200 compositions including “Night Bird”, recorded several times by Chet baker and performed by many others. Many of his compositions have become veritable international standards, three of which – two in 1991 and one in 2001 – have been included in the prestigious “New Real Books” published in the United States by “Sher Music”.Famous writer/journalist Nat Hentoff writes: “(Pieranunzi) is a luminously lyrical pianist, with a constant flow of ideas. He builds the kind of quality of designs that have a powerful inner logic. (...) Pieranunzi can swing – crisply and surely. But in those tempos he remains his lyrical self. His music sings.” Ray Spencer of “Jazz Journal” has written that “Enrico Pieranunzi breathes new life into contemporary jazz”. | |
