Enrico Pieranunzi & Paul Motian: Doorways
by Chris May
Another landmark album in the long and distinguished careers of Enrico Pieranunzi and Paul Motian, Doorways is one hour of sumptuous and transcendentally beautiful music fashioned with the simplest tools--a piano and a drum kit (and on three tracks only, a saxophone).

by AAJ Staff
While created in order to serve a greater vehicle, soundtrack music often takes a life of its own. Such is the case with Nino Rota's compositions for Italian director Federico Fellini's classic films, collected, arranged, and reinterpreted on FelliniJazz by pianist Enrico Pieranunzi.

Enrico Pieranunzi: Les Amants
by John Kelman
After having released seven recordings for the Italian EGEA label in settings ranging from solo to trio, when pianist Enrico Pieranunzi was asked what he'd like to do next, he immediately replied, “a CD with piano, sax, bass and--a string quartet."

Enrico Pieranunzi - Marc Johnson - Gabriele Mirabassi: Racconti Mediterranei

Shortly after its initial release, this trio outing received numerous accolades from the European press. To that end, we can add this reviewer’s praise to the existing heap.
