by Chris May
If the work of any jazz composer lends itself to elegant reframing, as opposed to crass sweetening, by a chamber orchestra, it is that of John Lewis, co-founder of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Lewis' ambition, most often metaphorically realised but sometimes literally so, was to achieve a synthesis of blues and Bach. His blends were mostly successful and only occasionally, in self-conscious forays into third stream" music, did his innate vibrancy become subsumed in arid academia. Lewis ...

Quattro anni dopo My Songbook, l'album che ne aveva rivelato l'aspetto di songwriter, Enrico Pieranunzi torna a pubblicare un album di canzoni, ancora una volta interpretate dalla voce duttile ed elegante di Simona Severini. La formazione è diversa dalla precedente: conserva Luca Bulgarelli a contrabbasso e basso elettrico, gli affianca il fido André Ceccarelli alla batteria e l'ospite Andrea Dulbecco al vibrafono, escludendo del tutto i fiati. Ne scaturisce un organico estremamente equilibrato, dai suoni netti e brillanti, ...

Enrico Pieranunzi is a multidimensional pianist and composer, but when he is in mellow mood he can remind one of the late, great Henry Manciniand it is not just his Italian heritage.
