The pianist Jean-Michel Pilc is a rare musician, whose name has been circulating for a while among jazz lovers. His new album is called Symphony and contrary to what its title suggests, it was recorded solo in Portugal, during a session of incredible creative quality. Justfocus unveils a video excerpt published on Youtube. Jean-Michel Pilc is a goldsmith, an extraordinary creator. His art is due to an extraordinary quality of inspiration and a sensitivity that leads him to improvisation. Spontaneity is probably the most important element of jazz expression, it is the immediacy of creativity in its purest and most adventurous manifestation. For pianist Jean-Michel Pilc, the concert represents the pinnacle of this level of spontaneity. "For a while, all my concerts have been totally improvised: no program, nothing prepared, only music to guide us. I go on stage like a newborn, ready each time for a new life, a new journey, a new experience. " Jean-Michel Pilc Jean-Michel Pilc – Symphony
As the legendary Harry Belafonte said about Jean-Michel Pilc: "Beyond all that can be said about his masterful technique and the beauty of his touch, it is the unpredictability that is at the heart of his remarkable talent. " In his latest album Symphony, Jean-Michel Pilc highlights this freedom and recklessness. The birth of the project dates back to November 2021: "Right after the recording of the album Contradictio by Spanish saxophonist Xose Miguelez, I was inspired by the perfect conditions of OJM studios in Portugal – a beautiful Steinway, perfect acoustics and technical parameters. I decided it was time to do a "memorable" session as part of my solo project. " We unveil a video of an excerpt from the album Symphony. This video was recorded in Montreal, at The Crescent jazz club. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djk4fjCqj-k The pianist's official website
