Martial Solal: NY 1: Live at The Village Vanguard
by Jeff Stockton
Opening night for pianist Martial Solal's rare appearance in New York City was scheduled at the Village Vanguard for September 18, 2001. The show went on, but because the city wasn't too much in the mood for enjoyment, and Solal had had trouble making the flight. That first night he performed standards to a sparse but ...
Martial Solal: NY1: Live at the Village Vanguard
by Dan McClenaghan
I hadn't heard of the Algiers-born, Paris-based pianist Martial Solal, and my review copy of this disc came in a bare bones state: just a cardboard sleeve, a listing of the tunes and musicians. No cover art, no liner notes. A blind listen told me “Modernistic," a young lion full of the creative drive ...

by Jim Santella
This live recording allows one to share the reaction of the audience as well as the creative energy exhibited by the Martial Solal Trio during the group's week-long engagement in New York just a week after the horrific September 11, 2001 World Trade Center tragedies.

Martial Solal: Martial Solal Dodecaband Plays Ellington
by Craig Jolley
Martial Solal's big band is a revelation. I've loved his piano music since I started acquiring (mostly through mail order) his records in the late 60's. His big band writing can be seen as an extension of his piano, but it is much more. Like his piano playing there are all kinds of rhythmic stops and ...
Martial Solal Dodecaband: Martial Solal Dodecaband Plays Ellington
by Jim Santella
A decidedly different chamber jazz kind of tribute to Duke Ellington comes from the creative mind of Paris-based Martial Solal. With a sound like that of Miles Davis' mid-century nonet, the pianist weaves tuba, baritone saxophone, rhythm, brass and woodwinds into a big band sound with suite-like implications. Following the cool school approach, Solal leaves out ...
Martial Solal: Martial Solal Dodecaband Plays Ellington
by Mark Corroto
There are only two things missing from Martial Solal's Duke Ellington tribute, Ellington's arrangements and Solal's voice. Solal, born in French Algiers in 1927, has been a staple of the Paris jazz scene since the 1950s. His piano has accompanied Don Byas, Lucky Thompson, Sidney Bechet, and Lee Konitz. He was recently nominated for a Grammy ...
