Lucky Thompson: The Complete Vogue Recordings Vol. 1. BMG France 74321409342 [France 1998] ... with Martial Solal (p)! Excerpt from the liner notes by Claude Carrière (1992):"The rhythm section featured here includes Martial Solal who backs him with great taste. Martial was soon to become one of jazz history's important pianists. Art Tatum and Bud Powell had no secrets for him, but he had found his own voice very early. His technique allows him to play bold rhythmic figures and melodic disgressions."
