Jean-Michel Pilc on his New Book “It’s About Music” – Interview by Loren Schoenberg

Jean-Michel Pilc talks about his new book

(available at www.glenlyonbooks.com)

Jean-Michel Pilc is currently one of the most innovative pianists in jazz. His expressions of form sometimes are the equal of extended classical pieces. His imagination is limitless. And now we are fortunate to have a book by him, an accounting that gives us a bit of insight into where this all came from, but more importantly, how we can tap into that same brilliant stream that lies within us all.

~ Kenny Werner

Jean-Michel Pilc touches on the core of that which is unquantifiable in great art making in this masterwork. Every page is filled with language that beautifully describes the invisible process of spontaneous improvisation. This work has the potential to break down all sorts of barriers in the world of music education and liberate those that struggle with the limits of their own knowledge. I know that my perspective on improvisation, both as an improviser and teacher, is reenergized and forever changed after reading this magical book.

~ Larry Koonse, guitarist, CA Institute of the Arts

This book is an exceptional work - there is no other like it - truly amazing.

~ Joey Sellers, composer, trombonist, Director of Jazz Studies at Saddleback College, CA
