Martial Solal - Longitude - Music & Performance - CD

There are few greater pleasures in a jazz lover's life than listening to the music of Martial Solal. He is a magician of the keyboard. Solal seems to find as much joy in the creation of his unique artistry and transmit just as much of a sense of discovery to the listener as ever in his long and brilliant career. On this wonderful new record, he is heard in a trio setting, in the company of his long-time collaborators, Francois and Louis Moutin. The unpredictability of Solal's ideas is part of the fascination of his music - the shifts in tempo and rhythm, in mood and texture. He suspends and expands time. On this wonderful record, Martial Solal navigates the longitudes and latitudes of music with supreme command and assurance. There are few greater pleasures in life than listening to this master at work.
