Born in Rome in1949, Enrico Pieranunzi developed his love of jazz from his father, and by imitating what he heard on 78s by the likes of Charlie Parker, Lee Konitz, Lennie Tristano, and Chet Baker. The latter, with whom Pieranunzi eventually got to play and record in Italy in the early ’80s, steered his piano influences away from McCoy Tyner and Chick Corea toward Bill Evans. Combining this with a sense of swing and serious lyricism, Pieranunzi is now internationally known as a unique and decidedly European voice on his instrument, having won accolades and awards for his more than 70 recordings.

SELLING POINTS • One of the most important jazz pianists of our time.

Oded Tzur’s debut release receives 3½ stars from venerable jazz publication DownBeat!

“This ruminative quartet illustrates the hot-house atmosphere of the current New York jazz scene … the mournful shapes of Tzur’s tender melodies and the inflection of the Middle Eastern scale certainly connect the combo’s sound to the Mediterranean, but there’s something more interesting at work here.”

DownBeat magazine recently listed Isaac Darche’s new CD Team & Variations as one of only handful of releases achieving a 4½ star review!

This new release is on the Best Historical Album list in the JazzTimes Readers’ Poll, and was recently awarded with 4½ stars by DownBeat!

“Darche has an extroverted and enthusiastic modern style, able to play blazing runs, but with each note being easily heard. This music is stimulating, worthwhile, and memorable.”

(Scott Yanow)

“This is one of those performances that made fans love Brecker … from his first notes … Brecker never sounds less than fully engaged, playing at the top of his game with gruff muscularity and remarkable facility.”
