Luminous Enrico Pieranunzi composition 'Fellini's Waltz' that has a vivacious, dancing quality to it in this immaculate rendering is streaming ahead of the release of guitarist Chris Allard and pianist Ross Stanley's album Tortugas out in July. The Pieranunzi piece (issued on 2003's Fellini Jazz, the Italian piano master intimately delightful with Charlie Haden) opens this Perdido Records release that also includes Cole Porter, Allard originals including the title track, Peter Bernstein, Ann Ronell, Walt Weiskopf and Antônio Carlos Jobim numbers.
Allard, top (photo: publicity shot), is touring with famed show singer Lea Salonga. Stanley is heard on Trish Clowes' A View With A Room released earlier in 2022.
