Unsupervised
Unsupervised is the latest release by Rue de la Harpe recording artist Craig Pilo. It features Jim King, Ed Czach, Bill Esparza, Chris Smith, Mitch Forman, Rick Baptist, Angela Crole Brown and Brandon Brigham on the music of Stevie Wonder, Keith Jarrett, Billy Cobham, David Leonhardt, Randy Brecker, Jose Bertami, and Craig Pilo. In the tradition of all recordings by Rue de la Harpe artists, Unsupervised pushes the boundary of jazz music precedent, and forces acceptance of new and innovative grooves on both familiar and unfamiliar tunes.
"Drummer Craig Pilo who debuted his solo Jazz album Just Play four years ago has upped the ante with his newest release Unsupervised, a beautiful masterpiece that is breathtaking, and yes those are a lot of superlatives in the same sentence, but the praise is well deserved. From the opening song, Keith Jarrett’s “Spiral Dance,” led by Jim King’s emotive upright bass playing and Ed Czach’s piano, the listener senses that this is no ordinary instrumental collection of songs.
