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 ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: Special Encounter
by John Kelman
It's a rare thing when three musicians can really come together, not with the kind of camaraderie and simpatico that evolves from weeks, months, or even years of touring together, but within the context of relatively infrequent meetings in the recording studio.

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.

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 ...
