Enrico Pieranunzi & Bert Joris
Afterglow
(Challenge Records)
★★★★
THE outcome of a collaboration between Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and Belgium trumpeter and flugelhorn player Bert Joris, Afterglow is a delightful instrumental jazz record.
Recorded in Belgium, these original lyrical sketches — with Pieranunzi taking the lion’s share of the writing — run through a variety of tones.
