5.0 out of 5 stars
A breath of fresh air, August 7, 2000
This review is from: Together: Live at Sweet Basil 1 (Audio CD)
A stunning debut from a pianist I'd never heard of. Pilc makes the likes of Brad Mehldau sound staid and square: for all their technical accomplishment they're caught in a narrow groove - perhaps it takes a Continental [European] perspective to refresh the art of the trio. Pilc and his band recall Jacky Terrasson's remarkable debut album, with its refreshingly skewed standards (where did Jacky go wrong? he's pretty dull nowadays), or even Gonzalo Rubalcaba's 'Blessing' with its cascades of notes and fiery attack. A real ear-freshener. There's certainly some great jazz piano coming over from France - Eric Watson and Stephan Oliva can do it too.
