Martial Solal (p)
In June 1966, invited by the shrewd American producer andauthor Ross Russell, Martial Solal traveled to Los Angeles to record theseforgotten and unreleased solo piano sessions. Russell, who had launched thelegendary label Dial Records back in 1946 to record Charlie Parker, had spentseveral years away from the jazz scene after shutting Dial down in 1949. Whenhe decided to return to the jazz record business, he organized a series ofrecordings at Glendale’s Whitney Studio, which had a wonderful Steinway.Unfortunately, Russell’s new project didn’t come to fruition, and so Solal’srecordings never saw the light.
Now we can finally hear them in two CD volumes. They showMartial Solal at his best, his incontestable talent, dazzling virtuosity andinvention, but also his good taste and sense of humor in the execution. Theoriginality of his conception, paired with his elegant control and technique,put him on a par with the great American pianists.
