One or two Martial Solal discs have already been mentioned. ANY Martial Solal disc from the 90s is highly recommendable. As for one of his European "peers", check also some Tete Montoliu discs from the 90s. I would start with: - The Music I Like To Play, Vol. 3: Let's Call This (Soul Note) - solo piano - Catalonian Rhapsody (Alfa Jazz) - trio with Hein van de Geyn and Idris Muhammad - Tete Montoliu en El San Juan (Nuevos Medios) - trio plus Stephen Riley (ts), Danny Harper (flg) and Philip Harper (tp) on some tracks - 1995 (Contrabaix) - duo with Javier Colina (b) - Palau de la Musica Catalana.21/3/1997 (DiscMedi Blau) - solo piano

Yes! Goblins cut it and put it in a different post: Up and running: https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2020/12/04/charlie-parker-south-of-the-border/ https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2020/11/05/thelonious-monk-monks-music-featuring-john-coltrane/

But also "I Wish I Was In NO" or "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" (which btw is the name of certain FB group dedicated to the music of TW)... What an album!!

Yes! Time to spin some Tom Waits! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Following your path... It all starts with "Tom Traubert's Blues", which is one of my favourite Tom Waits tracks...

Overwhelmingly brilliant, I would say. Some tempi are absolutely crazy, as in ‘Tempus Fugit’. And yes, I was prompted to revisit this album by your mention in the Later 1940s thread. 😀

No mention to ‘Mule’? Too deep in the ‘exaggerated territory’?

I love this one and I love 'Blue Valentine', but... What about 'Swordfishtrombones', 'Rain Dogs', 'Frank's Wild Years' and 'Mule Variations'? 😉

Where’s the bass? 😉

The Tete Montoliu Trio with Billy Brooks on board only lasted for a bit more than one year (May ‘65 to July’66) but, for me, it is one of the best trios Tete ever had.
