Enrico Pieranunzi with Simona Severini - My Songbook (2016)

The renowned Italian pianist has worked wonders on this captivating album and has shown himself to be a genius songwriter with deft technique and a restless imagination. The album contains eleven of Pieranunzi's own compositions, music and lyrics that flow effortlessly thanks to acclaimed vocalist Simone Severini, who exudes an amazing sensuality and pairs well with her expressive voice. Pieranunzi and Severini began collaborating in 2012 on the occasion of the recording of a tribute to Lucio Dalla and have continued to work together ever since. The compositions are skillfully arranged by Pieranunzi in various forms, from duet to sextet, with an amazing range of expression demonstrating the quality of the involved musicians among Italy's most famous jazz artists (Luca Bulgarelli, Nicola Angelucci and two guests Rosario Giuliani and Francesco Lento). "My Songbook" is an engaging listening experience with lyrical eloquence. ~ Via Veneto Jazz.
