Jazz pianist and composer Jean-Michel Pilc is viewed by many to be a 21st century master. His improvisational concepts transcend genre while remaining grounded in a
rigorous compositional framework.
This one hour documentary film offers privileged access to Pilc playing his exhilarating music in intimate settings.
Experience this rare talent up close at his country home, in the studio, whistling bebop on the streets, teaching and spellbinding audiences across New York City.
"If pianist Jean-Michel Pilc hadn't become a musician, he might have had a brilliant career as a philosopher or historian. Throughout John McCormick's film, Jean-Michel Pilc: A Portrait, which highlights Pilc's music and his thoughts on music and art, Pilc doles out grains of truth that are brilliant in their simplicity and speak directly to his manner of performing and composing." - Dan Bilawsky All About Jazz March 2010
