Martial Solal And His Orchestra 1956-1962

Description: From his beginnings, Martial Solal made it clear that he was not like other pianists, and maybe that’s why it took him a few years to get the unreserved recognition of the jazz world. His talent and excellent technique along with his advanced harmonic conception were his credentials as an innovative pianist. It was these same qualities that he took to the world of orchestral writing, where he showed that his gifts as an arranger go hand in hand with his talent as a pianist. Listening to these recordings, the intimate character of his compositions and his mastery as an instrumentalist shine through on every note, and make obvious that Martial Solal had fun extrapolating his ideas and musical concepts from the piano to a large orchestra. 01. 1 Au Quatrième Top 2:55 02.
