I´ve read this review by Werner Stiefele https://www.rondomagazin.de/kritiken.php?kritiken_id=3551 and was fascinated hearing the CD. Here the translation of this review: „Jazzfans know that Weather Report founder Wayne Shorter is a brilliant saxophonist. Strangely enough, the fact that he is also an excellent composer is not one of the platitudes of the scene. Fascinating topics such as "E.S.P." and "Nefertiti," which became title tracks on the Miles Davis Quintet's albums. The Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi transforms them in a trio with the bassist Hein Van de Geyn and the drummer Hans van Oosterhout into chamber music gems. The three of them sound out the issues calmly and deliberately. In "Nefertiti" they transfer the wind parts with nuanced chisel to the right hand of the pianist or in bass solos. becomes a slightly less heated, yet seething trio piece with a piano focus. The "Wildflower" seems to sway in the wind, the floating "Teru" seduces you to dream and "Pinocchio" dances and jumps out of the instruments with great joy. Wayne Shorter's complex pieces can only be adequately transferred to a trio if everyone makes their contribution to the ensemble sound imaginatively and if their playing is equally open and self-confident. That is exactly the case. The Enrico Pieranunzi Trio elicits its own, attractive facets from the eleven titles.“
