Release Notes:
Born in Paris in 1960, Pilc worked as a rocket scientist with the
French Space Agency before becoming a full-time musician. Largely
self-taught, he was a jazz devotee by age 8 which is when he first
heard Bix Beiderbecke.
After building a respectable musical career in Europe, Pilc
arrived in the U. S. in 1995 and soon signed on as musical
director for Harry Belafonte (who wrote the liner notes for Pilc's
2002 Dreyfus debut, Welcome Home). To date, Pilc has played with
such greats as Roy Haynes, Michael Brecker, Dave Liebman, John
Abercrombie, Jean Toussaint, Martial Solal, Michel Portal, Marcus
Miller and Lenny White and made recent sideman appearances with
his esteemed peers Ari Hoenig, Sam Newsome, Rosario Giuliani,
Elisabeth Kontomanou, Richard Bona and more.
But Pilc's accomplishments as a leader have garnered the widest
praise. The legendary critic Dan Morgenstern chose Pilc's
masterful Cardinal Points as a top-ten album of 2003. JazzTimes
enthused that it 'should be studied in every music school in the
galaxy...' Pilc's follow-up, the solo piano Follow Me, was one of
Howard Reich's top 2004 picks in the Chicago Tribune. Andrew
Durkin of All About Jazz wrote: 'Pilc leans toward a comprehensive
pianism, ably expressing-on a single instrument, no less-so much
of what has made jazz fascinating, problematic, or inspiring over
the last hundred years.'
