Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi leads a trio with Thomas Fonnesbaek/b and Ulysses Owens Jr/dr through a dozen original tunes. There are a handful of “Free Visions” that come off as intuitive conversations, as there are moments of peek-a-boo in “1”, rapid runs on “2”, soft subtleties in “3” and rumblings in “4”. More concrete themes are felt as the team does a bouncy shuffle on”One For Ulysses” and Pieranunzi shows his funky side on “Alt Kan Ske (More Valentines)” with Fonnesbaek delivering a nice line on “Anne Blomster Sang.” Pieranunzi’s touch is glassy and clean, well articulated and chimes well on moments as on the elegant “Night Waltz.” Dashes of vintage Bill Evans.Enrico Pieranunzi Trio: New Visions
