Enrico Pieranunzi/Paul Motian: Doorways
by Robert R. Calder
A duly celebrated Italian pianist with other recent issues to his name, Enrico Pieranunzi stakes a claim for attention at once in the opening track of Doorways with just Paul Motian's drums in support. As a composer he's fine, but on the whole he doesn't do his own work justice here. Double Existence I" is well-structured ...
Bonafede / Rava / Abercrombie / Street / Penn: Journey to Donnafugata
by John Kelman
The Italian CAM Jazz label seems to be on a mission to present the music of renowned film scorer Nino Rota in a more improvisational context. First, pianist Enrico Pieranunzi's FelliniJazz was dominated by many of his more memorable themes. Now pianist Salvatore Bonafede delivers Journey to Donnafugata, homage to Rota's score for the Visconti film ...
Enrico Pieranunzi/Paul Motian: Doorways
by John Kelman
The amount of musical liberty in an ensemble seems inversely proportionate to the number of players involved. The smaller the group, the more exposed the players. While the piano inarguably possesses the broadest range, so that its pairing with virtually any other instrument provides for the richest possible palette, there's something about a piano/drums duo that ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: FelliniJazz
by John Kelman
Despite a clear understanding of the jazz tradition that pervades everything he touches, Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi cannot escape his own ethnic roots. On albums as diverse as his pensive duet album with bassist Marc Johnson, Trasnoche (EGEA, 2003), and the chamber jazz of Les Amants (EGEA, 2004), Pieranunzi's impressionistic improvisational style marries comfortably with a ...
Enrico Pieranunzi/Paul Motian: Doorways
by Ty Cumbie
Not long ago I heard the excellent pianist Russ Lossing's fine recording As It Grows with Paul Motian on drums. Now comes another excellent, very different pianist, Enrico Pieranunzi, also with Motian and a new record that recalls the glory of Jarrett's time on ECM. Doorways covers wide territory, both charted and uncharted. Pieranunzi ...

Enrico Pieranunzi/Paul Motian: Doorways
by Mark F. Turner
Doorways is an exhilarating duo release featuring veteran musicians drummer Paul Motian and pianist Enrico Pieranunzi. While Motian may be more recognized in the U.S. for his work on hundreds of recordings, Pieranunzi is also a force to be reckoned with both as a musician and composer, as witnessed on the recent recording FelliniJazz . He ...
