"It's patently obvious for everyone that Martial SOLAL is virtuosity itself. Even with an unlimited technical skill he never lets himself be content with this utmost proficiency. Because music can never confine itself to such a necessary mastery, he set himself other goals. Throughout the constant clinch with the piano, forever trying to progress - even beyond what is possible - towards that horizon of the ideal where the improviser, free from any technical concern, can at least reach the unbelievable. With such a degree of perfection, even improvisation becomes obvious. But this won't let us forget that the improviser is still a composer, a composer of the instant, an inventor of forms, who creates his own language, shaping his own universe with technique and memory as tools added to the even greater desire to flirt dangerously over some random phrase or harmony hitherto unheard.

Thus conceived, improvisation does appear as the borderline experience of composition, as well as its founding process. Working as a composer, Martial SOLAL exalts his experience as inventor of the instant. A self-taught composer and orchestrator, he can miraculously escape the ponderousness of academicism, as well as the formal reflexes or inevitable structures that often threaten such an enterprise. This welcomed peculiarity was already showing in the repertoire of his first big band (1956-1958) and had never failed when, in 1962, Martial SOLAL set up a new, short-lived phalanx. Then it was not until the early eighties that this unequalled orchestral potion could be tasted again. From then on, the language asserted its basic novelty. Forms have freed themselves, making this unlikely balance between freedom, rigour and humour. The alteration of rythm, tempo and key fashion the most surprising landscapes… Unexpected steep slopes take you to grandiose panoramas or to intimate, even secret gardens. The interplay of tones and phrasing composes many cleverly blended colours. The pianist, at times soloist, makes himself unobtrusive: the composer and the band are the ones who talk here… They speak the language of writing, writing as desire, as discovery, dazzlement… Writing, forever touching the beyond: such as jazz always secretly dreamt it would be." - Xavier PREVOST
