In 2000, Di Piazza released the album Front Page (Sunnyside) with a group of the same name, consisting of Biréli Lagrène on Guitar and Dennis Chambers on Drums.[2] In 2001 the album was awarded the Victory Music Award for the year's best jazz CD.
In 2003 he released Seven Steps To Heaven, a ten-track album recorded for the record label Wide Sound with Vic Juris, Giuseppe Continenza and Pietro Iodice, which ranked fourth of best-selling jazz albums on iTunes, while the single "Stella By Starlight” was in 2nd place.[3][4][5][6]
In 2005 and 2006 Di Piazza toured in Réunion, Mauritius, Madagascar and 10 other countries in Africa, accompanied by Meddy Gerville - a pianist from Reunion, Jean-Marie Ecay on guitar, and drummer Horacio Hernandez. This tour led to a new CD called Jazz Amwin, which has been released independently.
