Reissue with the latest remastering. Features original cover artwork. Comes with a descripton in Japanese. A superior post-bop pianist influenced by Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner but long possessing his own sound, Enrico Pieranunzi is one of the top jazz pianists living in Italy. Perhaps the reason for the prevalence of Pieranunzi trio recordings can be summed-up in the following excerpt from Wim van Eyle’s insert notes to Enrico’s New Lands trio recording: “One of the most enjoyable of all Jazz forms is the piano trio: three is an ideal number for improvising together with great possibilities of interplay within the trio. If there are stylistic boundaries they can be crossed and passed at all times, the trio format is an ideal format, a start point for superb Jazz playing”.

Recorded in 1984, New Lands finds Enrico in the company of bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron. Although, Pieranunzi performs with a variety of bassists and drummers over the ensuing 25 years, he keeps returning to Johnson and Baron as his trio of preference.

Yet, as noted previously, each time these three old friends are reunited, their bond or “chemistry” becomes stronger which makes it possible for them to seek out more adventurous expressions of The Art of the Trio.
