“Un vagabondage spontané, partagé, qui
aura demandé une petite vie de
travail pour que surtout ça ne se voie pas. La classe absolue.” Francis Marmande, Le Monde 07/08
“...presque seul à jouer le jazz du XXIe
siècle...”
Michel Contat, Télérama 07/08
“Since those
early days, the work of one of the best-known of all French jazz players has
rarely strayed from a fever-pitch of improvising virtuosity and
compositional distinction. Solal is never cramped by the formal orthodoxies of
straightahead jazz, and his phrasing constantly catches you unawares... a free
spirit still exploring after more than half a century”.
