Our Take

MARTIAL SOLAL's "The Classic Years Vol. 2" is a mind-blowing journey through the jazz genius's iconic work. From the second you press play, you know you're in for a wild ride. Solal's piano skills are simply unparalleled, like watching a magician perform tricks that shouldn't be physically possible.

The album kicks off with "Rondade," a whimsical track that dances around your ears and sets the stage for what's to come. As the album progresses, Solal takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, from the frenetic energy of "Improvisation No. 1" to the melancholic beauty of "Bluesine."

One standout track is "Exposition," a mesmerising blend of intricate melodies and unpredictable rhythms that showcase Solal's sheer genius. It's like watching a master painter create a masterpiece right in front of your eyes - you can't help but be in awe of his talent.

Overall, "The Classic Years Vol. 2" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Solal's music transcends time and space, touching your soul in ways you never thought possible. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let MARTIAL SOLAL take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Trust us, you won't regret it.
