With ‘The Touch’ Søren Kristiansen and Thomas Fonnesbaek present their take on a classic piece of jazz, playing the music of Oscar Peterson and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen
OP and NHØP were some of the world’s greatest virtuosos on piano and double bass respectively, their immense technique and ‘touch’ made them unique. Their collaboration was likewise special because they were equals. For instance, Oscar Peterson’s arrangement for “On The Trail” (Great Connection, 1971) was presumably written because he had found a bassist that could keep up both musically and technically. The music of OP & NHØP is maybe the most challenging repertoire that exists in classical jazz. It requires ‘The Touch’… The nuanced, personal touch – the soft, almost inaudible accompaniment and an effortless technique. Søren Kristiansen describes the process: “Exactly like in soccer, The Touch is something you practice. When you play piano or the double bass you need to be able to control the instrument to express yourself freely in the moment.”

Enrico Pieranunzi, Thomas Fonnesbæk, André Ceccarelli – Something Tomorrow (2022)

Fanatique du trio piano/basse/batterie, Enrico Pieranunzi inaugure ici une nouvelle association avec deux autres pointures du jazz européen : le batteur français André Ceccarelli et le contrebassiste danois Thomas Fonnesbæk. À 72 ans passés, le grand pianiste, qu’on qualifie souvent de meilleur héritier transalpin de Bill Evans, est comme boosté par la vigueur de cette rythmique inédite. La poésie de son jeu comme sa virtuosité jamais surchargée possèdent toujours cette élégance bien à lui. Pieranunzi est l’homme de la note juste, de la note soupesée, de la note nécessaire. Jamais de gras dans cette musique fluide qui, si elle aime flirter avec une certaine forme de romantisme, n’abuse jamais de son potentiel émotionnel, voire lacrymal. Ici, le pianiste romain épure même son jeu encore plus qu’à son habitude… Tout au long de Something Tomorrow, sorti sur l’illustre label danois Storyville Records, le swing, le vrai, n’est jamais relégué au second plan. On bat la mesure avec le pied, on se laisse happer par la complicité entre les trois hommes et on sourit à chaque prise de solo. Bref, la pochette de ce disque mériterait un bon vieux coup de tampon, « classe et classique », à l’image de l’impeccable version de This Is New de Kurt Weill et Ira Gershwin qui le referme.
