Enrico Pieranunzi有「欧洲的Bill Evans」的称号，但此种恭维实际上却可能造成对Pieranunzi 音乐风格的误判，他有着非常良好的古典音乐素养， 承袭了Bill Evans的风格。比较起Bill Evans来，Pieranunzi稍显逸味不足，但在钢琴音色上的拿捏， 与配器、发展等构成能力上，则尤有过之，呈现出一种十足的欧洲趣味.优雅抒情的旋律灵感倾吐对美丽而丰饶的地中海的深深依恋， 在他以钢琴织就的多彩画布里. 　　 　　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. He began studying piano when he was five, partly from his father who was a jazz-loving guitarist. Pieranunzi became a professional when he was 19, playing with trombonist Marcello Rosa's quartet. Since then, in addition to leading his own groups, Pieranunzi has worked with many top players (both Europeans and Americans) including Franco Ambrosetti, Chet Baker, Benny Bailey, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Haden, Jim Hall, Lee Konitz, Sal Nistico, Enrico Rava, Tony Scott, Kai Winding and Phil Woods. Enrico Pieranunzi, who teaches at a conservatory, has done studio work and sometimes works as a chamber music soloist. He has recorded several impressive jazz sets as a leader for Enja, Timeless and especially Soul Note.
