@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
