The project – Tribute to Enrico Pieranunzi
Born out of a spontaneous encounter during an open jam session, the Loïc Rosnay Quartet brings four musicians with various backgrounds together, into a musical project built around the music of the celebrated Italian jazz pianist Enrico Pieranunzi. He has been for many years a constant and strong inspiration to some of us, and we are proud to dedicate him our new music.
Romantic but impulsive, harmonically complex but fluid… our repertoire comprises some tunes of Enrico Pieranunzi as well as own compositions influenced in some way by his music. Have a little taster in the section music!
