Someone once wrote that “Mr. Pilc starts at Mars & then goes from there. At once stunning, dumbfounding, compelling & brilliant beyond description.”Besides being a prolific leader, composer & educator, Pilc has played with an impressive list of musicians: Roy Haynes, Michael Brecker, Marcus Miller, Kenny Garrett & as Harry Belafonte's MD.

AllAboutJazz.com Review about this Instructional Video:“Pilc's first Jazz Heaven video “True Jazz Improvisation” was a universal tool that looked beyond his instrument.On his second Jazz Heaven release, the pianist telescopes his presentation and thinking.”Piano Playing: Transcending The Instrument” still speaks to the need for broad listening skills, understanding, and vision, as Pilc relates the piano to a variety of things, shares universal truths, and touches on the need to take on the role of other instruments. But make no mistake about it: This is a video geared specifically toward pianists.

Pilc links the ideas he presents here to his other video, but he quickly moves past it.He discusses important but often-overlooked topics (i.e. economy in playing, musical consistency, etc.), shares creative ways to tackle and dissect scales and Hanon exercises, emphasizes the idea of improvising as on-the-spot creation rather than blowing, and references everybody from Martial Solal to Franz Schubert to Art Tatum to Glenn Gould to make his points.

Along the way, Pilc zones in on the importance of classical musical and gives helpful hints on how to improve and expand as a player (i.e. different fingerings, dynamic independence between hands, slow play, etc.). But he's quick to point out that technique is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. While there's much to absorb here for any player, intermediate-to-advanced pianists will better appreciate the subtleties and ideas that Pilc shares through his words and his playing. In addition to the one-hundred-and-forty-five minute masterclass, the video contains a revealing sixty-five minute interview with Pilc, conducted by pianist Dan Tepfer.“AllAboutJazz
