about

Born to a family of French settlers in Algiers in 1927, Martial Solal began studying the piano at the age of seven with his mother and after playing locally, he moved to Paris in 1950. Making and immediate impact he began recording under his own name in 1953. Since then Martial Solal has not only continued to grow musically, but has also collaborated successfully on the international level with such as Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, John Scofield a.o. Everything that applies to Solal's keyboard playing also influences his virtuoso writing for big-band which, apart from the fact that it frequently leaves space for the composer's piano is identifiably the work of the same musical mind. Now that the Jazzpar Prize has again brought him to the attention of both his fellow-countrymen and the rest of the jazz world, it's an opportune moment to study Solal's contribution.

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 4 fans who also own “Contrastes”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
