Description
The great French Jazz pianist and composer Martial Solal was born on the 23rd August 1927 in Algiers French Algeria North Africa. In the 60s his regular trio featured Guy Pedersen on Bass and Daniel Humair on Drums and from 1968 onwards he performed and recorded with the great Lee Konitz not only in Europe but also the U.S.A. Solal has continued to record and perform and has written a piano method book called ‘Jazz Works’. He continued to enthral his audiences and classes his own work as ‘an eternal researcher of Jazz’. His influences during a long career are Fats Waller Errol Garner Thelonious Monk but he has his own unique and improvising style and is certainly one of the Jazz scene’s most professional and accomplished pianists as the recordings on this compilation will clearly demonstrate.
