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. Submitted by schwager (Marin County, CA)  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. Submitted by schwager (Marin County, California) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

$13.69 Stewart Pack opens for Superdrag, performs Beached Whale.Knoxville, TN, October 11, 2007 - For two decades, Stewart Pack has been recording edgy, independent guitar music in his basement. For the past 6 years he has released a full-length album nearly every year, along with a myriad of other side projects. Recent collaborations include: Emily Haines (Metric), Scott Minor (Sparklehorse), & Doug Gillard (Guided by Voices). His work appears on the shelves of big box music retailers like Best Buy and Tower Records. You hear the songs on college radio and all over the Internet. But now Stewart Pack is taking the show on the road. Legendary power pop band Superdrag (http://superdrag ) is on tour once again, and Stewart Pack is the opening act. Doug Gillard of Guided By Voices will play electric guitar and sing harmonies in the Stewart Pack four-piece lineup. Fans of Superdrag will be there to see the band's original members reunited on stage for the first time in over 10 years. The double bill will perform for already sold out crowds at top-tier music venues including Chicago's Metro, New York's Washington Square (Fillmore) and The Paradise in Boston. Superdrag front man, John Davis, who has worked with Pack on several recent projects says, "I've been a dedicated fan of Stewart Pack and his music for more than 15 years. Basically, he's my hero. You can print that. It's not hyperbole to say that the breadth, depth, consistency and quality of his work over the years, musical and otherwise, is nothing less than staggering. "With fuzzy, overdriven guitars and dreamy vocals he belts in a whisper, Pack's music makes you feel like you're in on a secret that's too good to keep. Not only does Pack produce, write, and record, he also performs drums, guitars, ...
