Description
With 'New Visions', Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi demonstrates that at the age of 69 he is at the peak of his career. This recording bears witness to his greatness as a musician, and also how open he is in his musical approach. Chances are taken. It is a delight to hear this trio as it sets the standard for how jazz can be played, here and now.

The story behind this recording began in the summer of 2018 when Enrico Pieranunzi played with leading drummer Ulysses Owens, Jr., for the first time: two awesome concerts during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival that cast a breathtaking spell over the audience and an exciting new musical collaboration was born.

Enrico has been a popular guest in Copenhagen for over 30 years, where he has played with elite Danish musicians like Mads Vinding, Alex Riel and Jesper Lundgaard. In recent years he has collaborated closely in a duo context with the phenomenal bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk and the two, together, were soon able to achieve new heights of creativity.

Pieranunzi is an exceptional pianist, whether he's playing solo, duo or trio. Melodically, harmonically, and not least of all rhythmically, he is "out of this world". He has something you simply don't hear with other musicians. Part of the explanation is likely due to a unique combination of influences, from his deep roots in classical and Italian music to his collaboration with iconic film composer Ennio Morricone and jazz giants like Chet Baker and Art Farmer. The rest - and most importantly - is due to Enrico himself.
