Jean-Michel Pilc: True Story
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There are few pianists in any realm of music as expressive, and with such extraordinary touch and dynamics, as Jean-Michel Pilc. He is also so enormously inventive that he might be perhaps one of very, very few pianists to inhabit the same rarefied atmosphere as Bill Evans. And that is only half the story. To Pilc, ...
Dreyfus Records: Crossing Continents with Music
by Jakob Baekgaard
Music, at its best, has the ability to reach across boundaries of nationality, gender and age. If there's a message in music, it's about communication, and about getting to the essence of everything: the beating pulse of a human heart. In an increasingly commercial market, where it has become more important to make music that opens ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: True Story
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo CD è fatto di finezze. L'iniziale “The Other Night" detta le regole. Il richiamo di note è suadente. Keith Jarrett al meglio dell'ispirazione? Chissà. Le poche note ripetute e poi esaltate dai lievi sibili percussivi di Billy Hart sembrano riassumere i silenzi di notte solitarie e introspettive. “La musica parla più delle parole," recita il ...

Ahmad Jamal: A Quiet Time
by Ian Patterson
Ahmad JamalA Quiet TimeDreyfus Records2010 Always reluctant to go into the studio unless he has material he is thoroughly satisfied with, pianist Ahmad Jamal's A Quiet Time could be considered as a follow-up to It's Magic (Dreyfus Records, 2008), given the relatively short period between the two releases. ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: True Story
by Karl Ackermann
Jean-Michel Pilc has yet to achieve a US prominence that compares to his fellow French jazz pianists, the late Michel Petrucciani and Algerian-born Martial Solal. While both of the latter musicians are frequently cited for their lightning-fast delivery, Pilc shares their agility as well as a finely honed ear for lyricism. But ultimately, Pilc is a ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: True Story
by Joel Roberts
Paris-born pianist Jean-Michel Pilc continues his impressive series of Dreyfus Jazz releases with True Story, his first album since 2006's New Dreams and the debut effort for his exciting new trio featuring respected veteran drummer Billy Hart and talented Russian-born bassist Boris Kozlov. The 49-year-old Pilc, a resident of New York for the past 15 years, ...
Ahmad Jamal: A Quiet Time
by Graham L. Flanagan
As one of the most highly influential jazz musicians on earth, pianist Ahmad Jamal enhances that sparkling reputation with his outstanding new studio effort A Quiet Time. The disc features two of the strong supporting players from his previous release, It's Magic (Dreyfus, 2008): James Cammack (bass) and Manolo Badrena (percussion), with Kenny Washington replacing Idris ...
Ahmad Jamal: A Quiet Time
by Greg Camphire
Ahmad Jamal A Quiet Time Dreyfus Records 2010 Pianist Ahmad Jamal continues his career-long winning streak with A Quiet Time. The album expands on a stream of superb, post-mid 1990s releases made with largely the same working band: the Verve label's three-part The Essence series (1996-98), followed by ...
Ahmad Jamal: A Quiet Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
Su A Quiet Time riluce ancora una volta la luminosa stella di Ahmnad Jamal. Nonostante l'assenza del fedele collaboratore Idris Muhammad alla batteria (con la conseguente minore mobilità ritmico-percussiva), non si notano sostanziali mutamenti di rotta, equilibri ed impasti timbrici. Non influisce sul risultato complessivo nemmeno l'aria e il clima di New York, dopo le precedenti ...
