From may 20th 2020 for four dates (also on may 27th, june 3rd and june 10th) at 6.30 pm Italian time, pianist and composer Enrico Pieranunzi will held 4 exclusive solo concerts in streaming from home, a virtual home residency focused on 4 different repertoires: : ‘Plays Scarlatti’, ‘Fellinijazz’, ‘My Songs’ e ‘New Songs’ INFO at www.internationalmusic.it and www.enricopieranunzi.com These concerts, produced by the International Music and Arts agency, represent a possible answer to the present emergency scenery in which the measures to prevent the virus from spreading do not allow concerts in front of an audience. Pianist, composer, arranger, born in Rome in 1949, Enrico Pieranunzi is one of the most famous and popular musicians of the international jazz scene. His formative years embraced both classical and jazz piano. Emerging in the early ‘70s, his lyrical approach quickly brought him to the forefront of the European scene and, in 1984, he formed a trio with Marc Johnson and Joey Baron, the first of several outstanding groups with American musicians – this trio was said to be “one of the very top tier trios working today”. Pieranunzi has worked - in concert or in studio - with artists such as Chet Baker, Lee Konitz, Paul Motian, Charlie Haden, Chris Potter, Marc Johnson, Joey Baron. He was voted several times Musician of the Year in the Italian magazine Musica Jazz critic’s poll and he was (in 1997) recipient of the “Django d’Or” Award for Best European Jazz Musician.
