Montrealers by adoption, as they are both jazz teachers at the Schulich School, French pianist Jean-Michel Pilc and American trumpet player Kevin Dean founded a quartet together, along with double bassist Martin Helsop and drummer Louis-Vincent Hamel. A profusion of improvisation is on the program, but also strong grounding in modern jazz… if Dean’s relatively conservative resume is any indication. One can certainly expect jazz of the highest level.
Kevin Dean: trumpet
