The Italian pianist and composer Enrico Pieranunzi makes music that appeals to the imagination: filmic, compelling and with the kind of frivolity you might expect from an Italian. Brussels Jazz Orchestra asked arranger Bert Joris to arrange a few selected pieces from Pieranunzi’s rich repertoire. Joris, who knows how to employ the full potential of the orchestra like no one else, succeeded in adapting these light, airy compositions for the larger forces of the BJO. With soloists Pieranunzi himself on piano and Bert Joris on trumpet, Brussels Jazz Orchestra creates an intimate and layered sound. A top-level European jazz project!

This is a dark and adsorbing and, yes, beautiful record. It doesn't seem designed to make any deep points, yet does so simply by the imaginative force of the playing. I don't know what time of day Haden and company went into the studio, but in some time zone it was 'round midnight. That's the zone they whisk you to.
