Music reviews of Lucky in Paris
Music Review: Magnificent!
Rating: 5 Stars
Lucky Thompson was one of the finest tenors ever, and it is a pity he is not as widely known now. His life was troubled the last couple decades of his life but this album just shines and glows with all the vibrance and warmth he had before all the bad times. Thompson's playing is lovely and very swinging, but it is Solal's piano that is the real revelation to me. I had never heard of Solal before this album. This album made me a big fan.
Listen to "How About You" and you'll be hooked. My brother is a piano player and he was impressed with Solal's solo on that song. "Wow", he said, "That is difficult." I don't play piano, but I know that Solal's angular style fits perfectly with Thompson here - or maybe it is Thompson fitting in with Solal's style? Either way, these are masterful players and there is not a single wasted moment on this CD.
All the selections here are fine, but my favorites are "How About You", "O.W.", and "Brother Bob". This is one of my top ten and a must have.
