JEAN-MICHEL PILC is French born but now an American Citizen living in New York since 1995. He has played with Richard Bona, Michael Brecker, Marcus Miller and Kenny Garrett and is pianist and musical leader for Harry Belafonte. He is self taught pianist but was a very big surprise for Mads Vinding that did not know him when Billy Hart suggested him as the pianist for this recording. It is a sensational trio CD.
