Stéphane Grappelli & Martial Solal • Happy Reunion

Review by Scott Yanow

This CD's title is a bit ironic, for violinist Stephane Grappelli and pianist Martial Solal (who are heard on a set of duets), although two of France's finest jazzmen, had only recorded together once before, and that was for a single selection in which they overdubbed their parts. This 1980 studio recording finds Solal reining in his adventurous style a bit so as to offer solid support for Grappelli. They perform six standards, two of Solal's pieces and a free improvisation.

Revisión por Scott Yanow

El título de este CD es un poco irónico, para el violinista Stephane Grappelli y el pianista Martial Solal (que se escuchan en un grupo de duetos), aunque dos de los mejores músicos de jazz de Francia solo habían grabado juntos una vez antes, y eso fue para una selección única en la que Sobregrabaron sus partes. Esta grabación de estudio de 1980 encuentra a Solal reinando un poco en su estilo aventurero para ofrecer un soporte sólido para Grappelli. Realizan seis estándares, dos de las piezas de Solal y una improvisación libre.
