Mehldau doesn't really come to mind for me. Pilc is much more forceful and their trio sounds, expressivity and compositional styles are totally different. I think Pilc gets more often compared to Martial Solal. 53296@blogcritics.org Thu, 25 Mar 2004 17:41:07 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/25/121152.php#comment-53265 It is my introduction to Pilc. Thanks, I will take your advice. Welcome Home, I can borrow from the music Library cos I think I have seen it there. I'll give that a listen. I hate to part with money unless I know what it is I am getting. 53265@blogcritics.org Thu, 25 Mar 2004 14:09:50 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/25/121152.php#comment-53259 from what i've read (and heard only in snippets) this record is somewhat of a style departure for pilc. what's i've heard so far reminds me of brad meldau. 53259@blogcritics.org Thu, 25 Mar 2004 13:56:12 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/25/121152.php#comment-53254 I have Passing Ships and cannot see much ressemblance between the two albums. I saw that Amazon customers "also bought" Passing Ships, but that's where the comparaison ends, IMO. If this is your introduction to Pilc, I would recommend getting a trio album instead: there are two volumes of "Live at Sweet Basil" and "Welcome Home" to choose from. 53254@blogcritics.org Thu, 25 Mar 2004 13:21:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/25/121152.php#comment-53247 Hmmm. Completely opposite from what a friend of mine told me about cardinal points. She just thought it was excellent all the way through. It's a shame the record stores dont let u get a brief listen anymore. I was going to pick it up but I am hoping to borrow it. I have Andrew Hill's Passing Ship and I have been led to believe not only by Amazon (who cost me a fortune) but by my friend, that if I like Passing Ships, I will like Cardinal points and that it is a much better offering. I wonder if there's a website where I could catch a free listen before I give Amazon more of my money. 53247@blogcritics.org Thu, 25 Mar 2004 12:45:34 EST
