| “ | French pianist, composer, and bandleader Martial Solal's intuitive approach to improvisation has earned him an honored place among the greatest minds in all of jazz. Thoroughly versed in the tradition from big-band swing to bop and post-bop, Solal has also composed chamber music, written scores for more than 20 films, and recorded more than 50 albums as soloist and leader. For more than half a century, Solal personified the cross-pollinated splendor of European jazz by utilizing styles and influences from both sides of the Atlantic to generate and sustain musical ideas that almost invariably come across as intelligent, pleasant, and gratifying. A student of 20th century European composers such as Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky, Alban Berg, and Olivier Messiaen, his early influences on piano were Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum, followed by Erroll Garner, Bud Powell, and Bill Evans. Both Oscar Peterson and Duke Ellington held him in highest esteem. As a composer he is clearly descended from both Ellington and Thelonious Monk. Each of these currents flows freely yet systematically through his music, tempered by his own unique sensibilities and a vast store of impressions harvested and manifested during a lengthy lifetime spent in absorption, reflection, and emanation. Martial Solal had built up quite a following in France by the time these 1961 sessions were issued in the early '60s. An incredible bop pianist with a technique that hints at elements of Art Tatum and Bud Powell, the solo material focuses on popular standards, including a romp through "Anything Goes," a joyous "Flamingo," and a somewhat playful "'Round Midnight." Bassist Guy Pederson and drummer Daniel Humair, his regular rhythm section of the period, are added for Solal's five original compositions. The album briefly reappeared on an EMI CD in Europe and is well worth acquiring if it can be found. These are the remarkable recordings with which Solal firmly established his own musical language. It may be his best solo/trio album throughout '50s and '60s. | ” |
