Giovanni Mirabassi is certainly not a blank slate: records by Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Jaki Byard, Bill Evans, Kenny Barron, Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett as well as Enrico Pieranunzi, the self-taught artist born in Perugia, Italy, cites as his early influences. At the age of 17, he was given the opportunity to accompany Chet Baker on a performance in Perugia. Two years later, he went on a nationwide tour with Steve Grossman. In 1992 he moved to Paris, where several Italian jazz musicians, including Stefano Di Battista, Paolo Fresu and Flavio Boltro, worked. Mirabassi achieved huge success in Japan, where his collaboration with the Polish pianist Andrzej Jagodziński met with great interest: The joint albums "Giovanni Mirabassi & Andrzej Jagodzinski Trio" (2003) and "C minor" (2005) were among the best-selling jazz recordings of all time.
On "The Sound Of Love: Tribute To Michel Legrand", the piano virtuoso teams up with Swiss singer Tatiana Eva-Marie, founder of the Avalon Jazz Band, to pay musical homage to the legendary French pianist, singer, arranger and composer Michel Jean Legrand, who has won several Grammy and Oscar awards. Mirabassi and Eva-Marie, who is often compared to jazz singers such as Cyrille Aimée and Cécile McLorin Salvant, manage – with the support of Alexander Claffy (bass) and Joe Peri (drums) – to create a true gem of late-night chanson jazz: elegant, intense and unique!
Venus Records was founded in 1992 by Tetsuo Hara, who had previously worked as a producer for RCA Victor. The label uses a special mastering process called "Hyper Magnum Sound" for the limited Japanese SACD (DSD, Non-Hybrid) of "The Sound Of Love: Tribute To Michel Legrand", recorded from November 17 to 20, 2021 at Big Orange Sheep Studios, Brooklyn, which produces a very powerful, present sound and is highly appreciated by audiophiles worldwide.
