Enrico Pieranunzi

Enrico Pieranunzi有「歐洲的Bill Evans」的稱號，但此種恭維實際上卻可能造成對Pieranunzi 音樂風格的誤判，他有著非常良好的古典音樂素養(yǎng)， 承襲了Bill Evans的風格。比較起B(yǎng)ill Evans來，Pieranunzi稍顯逸味不足，但在鋼琴音色上的拿捏， 與配器、發(fā)展等構成能力上，則尤有過之，呈現出一種十足的歐洲趣味.優(yōu)雅抒情的旋律靈感傾吐對美麗而豐饒的地中海的深深依戀， 在他以鋼琴織就的多彩畫布里.
A superior post bop pianist influenced by Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner but long possessing his own sound, Enrico Pieranunzi is one of the top jazz pianists living in Italy. He began studying piano when he was five, partly from his father who was a jazz-loving guitarist. Pieranunzi became a professional when he was 19, playing with trombonist Marcello Rosa's quartet. Since then, in addition to leading his own groups, Pieranunzi has worked with many top players (both Europeans and Americans) including Franco Ambrosetti, Chet Baker, Benny Bailey, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Haden, Jim Hall, Lee Konitz, Sal Nistico, Enrico Rava, Tony Scott, Kai Winding and Phil Woods. Enrico Pieranunzi, who teaches at a conservatory, has done studio work and sometimes works as a chamber music soloist. He has recorded several impressive jazz sets as a leader for Enja, Timeless and especially Soul Note.
