Editorial Reviews

Live In Japan continues Pieranunzi s encounter with the works of Italy s great film composer, Ennio Morricone. Pieranunzi worked in Roman film studios in the 70s and 80s and played on dozens of Morricone soundtracks. He has revealed a rich, mostly unexplored source for jazz in the hypnotic melodies of Morricone. Two of them here, Musashi and Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, were arranged for the Japan tour. Mio Caro Dottor Gräsler and Ninfa Plebea come from Pieranunzi's two CamJazz albums, Play Morricone 1 and 2 . Ninfa Plebea (a secondary theme from Lina Wertmüller's film of that name) demonstrates the nuances of emotion that Morricone can evoke with a simple snatch of melody (its core is three notes). Pieranunzi is exactly the pianist to take it up and wonder over it. Marc Johnson's solo is like prayer, if prayers can be so sensual.
The recorded sound of this album deserves mention. Working in concert venues of medium size (three of the performances took place at the Asahi Shimbum Hall in Tokyo), engineer Danilo Rossi achieves sonic quality as vivid and detailed as the best studio recordings, yet captures the in-the-moment electricity of these live events.

A really nice recording that would've been nicer if they had edited out the idiot that shrieks his approval every chance he gets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the Finest of Pieranunzi's Many Fine Recordings, January 18, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Live in Japan (Audio CD)
I'm not quite sure what to say about this album, except that anyone who loves jazz, and mainstream jazz piano in particular, should own it. Piernanunzi's unapologetic and very Italian lyricism -- especially in his interpretations of Ennio Morricone's compositions -- the almost telepathic interplay among the three members of this longtime trio, a highly appreciative Japanese audience and splendid sound quality add up to an absolutely transcendent experience. Truly a desert island disc, and a wonderful place to start with this very important musician, who is not nearly well-enough known in the United States.

5.0 out of 5 stars World Class Jazz Trio; Audiophile Grade Recording, April 20, 2010
By 
Zen Jazz (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live in Japan (Audio CD)
This is an excellent disc - the execution is flawless and the pieces are fresh. Each instrumentalist takes his turn at demonstrating his prowess and the interplay between each, is spectacular. From a technical standpoint, the recording is very, very good - especially for a live record.
