Our Take

MARTIAL SOLAL's "Universolal (Best Of)" is a sonic journey that dances effortlessly between genres, showcasing the French jazz icon's impressive range and innovative spirit. With tracks that blend elements of bebop, fusion, and traditional French chanson, Solal proves that his musical prowess knows no bounds.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "New York Herald Tribune," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the collection. Solal's virtuosic piano playing is on full display here, weaving in and out of intricate melodies with ease. From the sultry rhythms of "Who Cares?" to the frenetic energy of "Rue de Seine," each track on "Universolal" is a testament to Solal's undeniable talent.

One of the standout moments on the album comes courtesy of the hauntingly beautiful "Suite en forme de paravent," a delicate piano composition that showcases Solal's more introspective side. The lush harmonies and elegant phrasing in this track demonstrate Solal's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his music.

Overall, "Universolal (Best Of)" is a testament to MARTIAL SOLAL's enduring legacy in the world of jazz. With its genre-defying sound and masterful musicianship, this album is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their sonic horizons. Solal may be a veteran in the industry, but his music is as fresh and exciting as ever.
