Jazz composer and superb pianist Alberto Pibiri is an Italian musician now based in New York. During his study of classical and jazz music in France and Italy, he became enamored by the music of Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson. Pianist Alberto Pibiri opens his “Jazz Legacy” album with a delightful tribute, “For Oscar.” The sparkling quartet also includes Paul Gill (bass), Paul Wells (drums) and Adrian Cunningham (tenor sax, clarinet). Guests on this delightful album include guitarist Dave Stryker and vocalists Sheila Jordan, Jay Clayton and Miriam Waks. With all the songs composed and arranged by Pibiri, this is an impressive and entertaining undertaking. Each track is quite unique with a few highlights being “For Oscar,” “Kiss Kiss,” “New Bossa,” “Be Free” and “Oh Yeah.” (Joe Ross, Roots Music Report)
