| These 1953 recordings of Algerian pianist Martial
Solal were originally made for the Swing and
Vogue label in Paris and document some of his
earliest work. Even at this stage his vivid imagination
and determination to extend the language of
the piano is evident – standards are usually transformed
into something original and exciting.
During the period of these recordings Solal was
regularly appearing at the Club St. Germain as
well as at the Ringside where he met touring musicians
like J.J. Johnson, Clifford Brown, Don
Byas and Lucky Thompson. It isn’t difficult to understand
why they were all massively impressed
by this young pianist. Bobby Jasper wrote in
1955: ‘The lyricism, the reassuring feeling that
things were on the right path, the audacious attitude
of the musician who plumbed right to the
depths of himself and made music from jazz and
jazz from music, it was from Martial that I secretly
went to draw these things every evening |
