"Pilc's deepest and most rewarding statement to date." - JazzTimes

"In this CD, more than any other, various facets of Pilc's art come together, from the quicksilver nature of his improvisations to his profound knowledge of the classical repertory, from his gifts as towering soloist to his skills at leading a trio" - Chicago Tribune

Jean-Michel Pilc permanently moved to New York City in 1994, continuing his steady rise as a major pianist on the European and Canadian circuits, while also gaining a reputation in America as one of the most exciting and unpredictable pianist/composers in jazz.

A powerful peer of Tony Williams and Jack DeJohnette, jazz drummer Billy Hart is a master of contemporary expression. He's lived through multiple sea changes in jazz and absorbed them all, recording on more than 500 albums as a sideman.
Hart emerged as an accompanist to Shirley Horn and drilled in the rudiments with Jimmy Smith and Wes Montgomery. He followed jazz as some of its chief notables tried fusion — he played on some of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock's most backbeat-driven discs in the early 1970s — and spent long stints with countless giants of jazz, since. This career sideman stepped into the leader's chair and presides over a fearsome unit nearly half his age. His rugged quartet features three younger iconoclastic musicians.
