D.JGreene and Associates together with E.A. Music Artist Management presents world renowned Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi performing for the first time with John Patitucci (bass) and Joey Baron (drums) for an evening of Jazz at Merkin Concert Hall, November 14, 2011.
Pieranunzi’s American trio history is studded with prestigious collaborations, from the legendary Marc Johnson/Joey Baron trio to his late 80s trio with Charlie Haden and Paul Motian. Enrico’s musical world, already rich in typical European aspects, is fused with the distinctive moods of the most gifted American musicians, leaving a personal mark on the fascinating progression of this classic jazz format.
Pieranunzi’s artistry has come full circle to this current collaboration with Grammy-winning bass player, John Patittucci. In addition to his solo work, Brooklyn-born Patitucci has played with B.B. King, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, and Dizzy Gillespie. Rounding out the trio for this Merkin Hall date is drummer Joey Baron, best known for his work with Bill Frisell, Stan Getz, Steve Kuhn and Jim Hall. There’s no doubt that this trio’s live performance will generate a rich interplay tracing some stunning and unexpected musical adventures.
