@@Leo_prado Oh! I think you may be right based on Johnny's hand gestures, which are more or less in sync with the repetition of that word. Because I'm a guitarist, my focus was on Wes, who seemed to be holding his head while making that utterance.
Great! You know it must be with the rest of the band so evidently digging it! And yes, Mr Stephenson was a great drummer and a lovely guy-even though I only met him a couple of times
Notice the way Ronnie Scott hangs around to admire the audacious verve and rhythmic dynamism of this fabulous trio. Solal's techniquie is quite awesome, and backed by two wonderful musicians this version of On Green Dolphin Street is a small classic to be savoured and enjoyed time after time. Thanks for posting.
The big pianist!Celui de mes 20 piges!Fantastique!Une invention dingue!Internationnal!Il sait tout faire du trio au big band!Et cette joie de jouer!Pas pris une rides
Check out 'The Complete Vogue Recordings'. They're older, but some of my favorite Solal playing. Also check out 'Just Friends', which is a fantastic trio album with Solal. His recent 'Live at the Villiage Vanguard' album is great too. Solo, and a little more abstract, but it's beautiful stuff.
Thanks for this and the recommendations. I agree with you regarding the excellent 'Just Friends' w/Gary Peacock and Paul Motian. I'm going to try and find the solo recording now.
It was a german program dedicated to Wes Montgomery. This tune was recorded between two Wes numbers (you can see him in the begining and at the end). Was made in 1964 I think.
A machine gun piano. My first thought when I heard him in 62'. thanks GBagley. LP I purchased at the time was his " MARTIAL SOLAL"- EUROPE'S GREATEST JAZZ PIANIST. Anyone know of it ,,please leave me a message. Thanks.
im back to savor,,,ps. Chet's "Let's Get Lost" aired last night ...a gas...for me a Rimbaudian flashback,,,memories,, in the end it was a speedball man
is it "Nuits de Saint-Germain-de-Près" the song they finish playing at the beginning of this video? if so, I would ve thankful if anyone could link me to the recording, or provide a setlist for this session :D great video
The drummer and the bass player are excellent readers. However, the arrangement i=seems contrived, original for the sake of being original and not swinging.
I'll beg to differ but to me this version is about as pretentious and corny as jazz can be. Taking any basic standard and complicating it the most absurd of ways ain't musical to me. Plus the solo is a collection of "lookame I can play fast shit". No dynamics, intercation with the band or progression in the solo. Just for kicks, listen to Sonny Clark play this, and it's a whole different story... Jazz ain't better because it ressembles a classical solo piano piece.
It IS very " show-offy" but, to me, there's a lot of humor too. Thus, a little bit of fun tones down the tendency toward grandiosity. Like a peacock! An absurd creature, but you have to laugh! It's not that serious.
As we say in french "pète un coup ça va passer" jazz is free right ? So Martial play like that, no pretentious, he like the piano and playing, that's all.
For me Solal is the best European Jazzpianist and I`m very glad for this post. Thank you!!!
I'm glad to rediscover this after years.
What a remarkable arrangement! So tight, and yet as if they just made it up on the spot.
ive probs listened to this 100+ times.. and never stop learning
Wow....this guy is something else!!
HOW COME THIS INCREDIBLE RENDITION HAS PASSED ME BY,I,M HOOKED,MUST SEARCH FOR MORE BY THESE GUYS,WOW
Incredible arrangement 🤙🤙💥🤙💥🤙💥🤙💥🤙 my first time listening to this European jazz piano master and I want more,🍻🌍
Thats Awesome! Sould feel like an honor to have a Jazz Great in the Family, Carry on the tradition!
This has to be one of my favourite performances of music ever. Like Wes said, "Ridiculous".
That was Johnny Griffin

Art Tatum smiles in his heaven!

for THE LOVE OF GOD somebody go into the vaults and find this entire session and release it!!
It's been done!

This guy is truly a master at leaving NO space.
Solal: inventive as Jaki Byard, superb as Phineas Newborn, swinging as Oscar Peterson, musical as Errol Garner... wow!!
also FUNNY!
@@johnlindstrom9994 as fats waller ;3
This guy had lots of great ideas and his concept is highly original.
Amen
Sets a new standard for what brilliant means. With a standard.
wooow, that was totally awesome. I love old jazz ^^
Fantastic video!
Thank you for this!
5:42 - when Johnny Griffin the legend himself tells you what you played was "ridiculous"

@SlikkTim thats the opinion of a very simple minded person who ant handle virtuosity.
