Based now in Paris, Italian pianist, Giovanny Mirabassi is a self-taught musician, who learned by listening to Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson and, mostly, Enrico Pieranunzi, who he considers to be his greatest influence. His style is refined and romantic, similar to other Italian pianists like Stefano Bollani or Danilo Rea, but in addition, Pieranunzi is also comfortable with the standards of American jazz. His latest album, Adelante, is as beautiful as his historic Avanti, and in it he displays his exquisite sensibility in interpreting the great songs of Latin American heritage.
