Our Take

Martial Solal's "The Classic Years Vol. 1" is a jazz masterpiece that will have you bopping and swaying in no time. This album is like a cool breeze on a hot summer day, with Solal's virtuosic piano skills taking center stage.

From the upbeat tempo of "Night at the Mingus Center" to the soothing melodies of "Autumn Leaves," Solal showcases his versatility and precision throughout the album. His playful approach to improvisation keeps listeners on their toes, never quite sure where he's going to take them next.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument coming through crystal clear and perfectly balanced. The stellar performances from the accompanying musicians only serve to elevate Solal's already stunning work.

While some may argue that jazz is a dying art form, Solal proves that it is very much alive and kicking with this release. His ability to blend traditional jazz stylings with modern influences is a testament to his talent and creativity.

Overall, "The Classic Years Vol. 1" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a raucous evening with friends. So kick back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let Martial Solal serenade you into jazz heaven.
