SOLAL

In a long conversation with his friend, bass player François Moutin, Martial Solal takes us on a musical journey evoking his own masterful conception of jazz composition and improvisation, his encounters with the world’s greatest musicians, and the place of his favorite instrument, the piano. This film about Martial Solal includes live concerts, notably Solal playing in trio with the Moutin Brothers, and archive footage from Algiers, Paris, New York – which, all vividly combine to illustrate the story of one of today’s great jazz artists.
