Something Tomorrow

Enrico Pieranunzi, the renowned Italian pianist, delivers a masterclass in cool jazz with "Something Tomorrow," his latest album released on Storyville Records. This 44-minute journey into the world of post-bop is a testament to Pieranunzi's prowess and his ability to collaborate with some of the finest musicians in Europe.

Joining Pieranunzi are French drummer André Ceccarelli and Danish bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk, creating a trio that swings with grace and precision. The album features ten tracks, mostly original compositions by Pieranunzi, that showcase the pianist's knack for immediate, pungent phrases and his technical virtuosity. The trio digs into a pulsating rendition of "This Is New" and has fun jabbing and punching through "Three Notes," demonstrating their collective mastery of the genre.

"Something Tomorrow" is not just an album; it's a collection of moments that highlight the chemistry between Pieranunzi, Ceccarelli, and Fonnesbæk. The pianist's solo work is well-known, but this album proves he is equally convincing in a band setting. The interplay between the three musicians is evident throughout, with Fonnesbæk's bass serving as Pieranunzi's alter-ego and Ceccarelli providing a light, yet driving rhythm.

The album opens with "Those Days" and closes with "This Is New," bookending a set that includes standout tracks like "Perspectives," "Wave of Interest," and "The Heart of a Child." Each track offers a unique perspective on the cool jazz genre, with Pieranunzi's influences ranging from bop to contemporary jazz.

"Something Tomorrow" is a celebration of jazz at its finest, featuring three master musicians at the top of their game. Whether you're a longtime fan of Enrico Pieranunzi or new to his work, this album is sure to impress with its technical skill, musicality, and sheer enjoyment.
