Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Play Morricone
by John Kelman
Sometimes the most unfortunate circumstances can yield surprisingly positive results. Bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron were already in Italy in 1984 for the start of a tour with pianist Kenny Drew when Drew's wife became suddenly ill. With Drew returning home to Denmark, Johnson and Baron were left with few options. When pianist Enrico ...
Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Play Morricone
by Chris May
Some composers' work is so uniquely and blissfully melodic that a musician need do no more than pick out the top line to induce happiness in the listener. Like Lalique glassware or Ming porcelain, the tune is a thing of beauty complete in itself, capable of standing a lengthy gaze or multiple repetition without any danger ...
Tommaso-Rava Quartet: La Dolce Vita
by Jim Santella
Interpreting film score themes that have affected us for the past forty years, the Tommaso-Rava quartet draws upon various moods that have been inspirational to millions. Cool, calm and collected, the four artists expand upon each theme's original impression and create dreamscapes that grow out of what has passed before us. Trumpeter Enrico Rava ...
Jim Hall/Enrico Pieranunzi: Duologues
by John Kelman
Some would argue that it's human nature to settle into a comfort zone as one gets older. Many people find themselves less interested in new developments, instead listening to the music of their youth, watching movies from the same time, and generally finding it more and more difficult to connect to contemporary things. When that happens ...
Oregon: Prime
by John Kelman
Given most marriages don't last 35 years, the fact that three of perennially genre-busting group Oregon's four founding members have remained together so long--and there's little doubt that if Colin Walcott had not tragically died in a car accident in '84, he'd still be around too--is truly remarkable. Sure, there are a few old warhorse rock ...
Enrico Rava: Full of Life
by John Kelman
In a recent AAJ article, Marc Meyers makes a strong case for a new mainstream in jazz, championed by artists like trumpeters David Weiss and Dave Douglas, as well as the improvisationally and compositionally rich SF Jazz Collective. But it's worthwhile to note that there are still artists out there mining the legacy of the more ...
Enrico Rava: Full of Life
by Jim Santella
A lyrical trumpeter with a mellow tone and soft-edged motions, Enrico Rava brings a delicious sound to the forum. His piano-less quartet maintains a focus on embellished melodies and creatively improvised airs. Their combined textures leave space for the quartet's harmony to breathe. Without clutter, they give their audience a feeling of openness. The music simply ...
Tommaso-Rava Quartet: La Dolce Vita
by John Kelman
As a result of Sunnyside Records inking a North American distribution deal with the Italian Cam Jazz label earlier this year, Sunnyside has been releasing not only new recordings, but also selected earlier titles. And that's good news, because based on the track record of recent discs like Kenny Wheeler's What Now?, Enrico Pieranunzi's Special Encounter, ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: Special Encounter
by AAJ Staff
Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi drew strong accolades with last year's quintet FelliniJazz (CAM Jazz), though he's been busy making records since the '70s. He returns with the same veteran rhythm section, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian, for this trio Special Encounter. But the two discs are linked in more ways than one, because they ...
