Volume two of Jean-Michel Pilc's live Sweet Basil series
delivers another powerful dose of unbridled invention. This
pianist knows how to probe the guts of the standard tunes,
whether they're oldies like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Tea for
Two" or more modern staples like "My Funny Valentine" and "All
Blues." With the dependably virtuosic assistance of bassist
Franτois Moutin and drummer Ari Hoenig, Pilc puts his august
creative signature on everything he plays, often guiding his
colleagues toward torrential climaxes of harmonic and rhythmic
discovery. Put simply, this is one of the most exciting trios
working. And Pilc can write, too. The originals this time
include the off-kilter Latin "262" (not to be confused with
Coltrane's "26-2"), the bracing set-closer "Together" (which
includes an extended reference to Charlie Parker's "The Hymn"),
and a solo piano miniature called "My K÷ln Concert" (a nod to
Keith Jarrett's famous 1975 recording). Pilc's fast treatment
of "All Blues" presages what he would do later on his Welcome
Home album with "So What," another masterpiece from Kind of
Blue. -- David R. Adler
