It is a tremendous challenge to find a fresh approach to standards and frequently performed jazz compositions. But pianist Enrico Pieranunzi is up to the task in this collection of live trio performances from 2001 in Paris. He is accompanied by two of Europe's finest musicians, bassist Hein Van de Geyn and drummer André Ceccarelli (who worked together in singer Dee Dee Bridgewater's band). The leader's take of "Body and Soul" includes a fluttering introduction and some dazzling Tatum-like runs. "I Hear a Rhapsody" is transformed into a daredevil post-bop anthem, while Van de Geyn introduces "I Fall in Love Too Easily" with a heartfelt solo. But the big surprise is their playful take of "Someday My Prince Will Come," which sounds more like a nightmare than a dream! Pieranunzi's off-centered arrangement of Wayne Shorter's modal masterpiece "Footprints" is full of tension, though his approach to Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" is fairly restrained. The leader contributed several originals, including the moody ballad "One Lone Star" and the more upbeat "Una Piccola Chiave Dorata." The support of the rhythm section is an essential ingredient throughout this highly recommended two-CD set. ~ Ken Dryden

Down Beat (p.68) - "There's not a wasted not in the set, from the waterfall cascades on 'Body And Soul' through the haunting final tones of 'Autumn Leaves'."

Fixing the rating to the correct 5 stars
Wrote a previous review and mistakenly didn't tick off the 5 stars, which Pieranunzi's recording certainly is. So it' s fair to do a second entry to correct it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Pieranunzi nourishes brain cells
Enrico Pieranunzi with Hein Van de Geyn and André Dédé Ceccarelli mean that contemporary music, and by that I mean the improvisational music of true jazz is flourishing in Paris. One of the aspects idolators of pop miss and therefor are targeted by, is the neutering that pop culture everywhere imposes. Pieranunzi and associates restores the verve and breathless guts we've known in American Jazz clubs and proves that the music has less to do with the continent you're on and more to do with the genius of the human nervous system flying at speed above the turbulence. My desert island collection grows with the addition of this disc.

Live In Paris songs
$14.65
Since making a middle-of-life comeback in the 1990s, saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Charles Lloyd has continually issued fascinating recordings. While some of them contain missteps, it's not for lack of ambition. For one of jazz's elder statesmen, Lloyd pushes his envelope of ideas about improvisation, rhythm and harmony, often to the breaking point. He is a player who sets sometimes impossibly high goals for himself, but in so doing, gives listeners something to really hold on to when encountering one of his albums or seeing him live. Jumping the Creek, which continues his association with ECM Records, is another compelling affair. The band -- pianist Geri Allen, bassist Robert ...
