“A French
Session” is a fundamentally an organic and honest album that has all the
necessary ingredients to become a Blues piano manual with a remarkable
influence of New Orleans music. Paul´s
tours around the French circuit over the years might be responsible for
not only his unique style when it comes
to play but leaving an evident influence right from the beginning with
“What Can I Do” with Tejerizo
Sylvain on sax and the classic “New Early In The Morning” by Sonny
Boy Williamson I in shuffle time both
with undeniable Louisiana accent going through
Boogie Woogie in “Got to Get to My Baby” with Mississippi
piano player Sunnyland Slim signature. We visit the French Quarter again with a
magnificent cover of the classic “Tipitinas” by the great Professor
Longhair. In “Bumble Boogie” Paul pays tribute to American pianist
Jack Fina and his recreation of the classic piece by the composer Nikolai
Rimski-Kórsakov. “Too many dirty dishes” by Albert Collins takes us
to slow Blues time, where Paul unfolds all his potential as a vocalist. The
band returns to shuffle on Earl Hooker’s “This Little Voice” with the
great Texan guitarist Chris Ruest. Ending with a “Hey Pocky A-Way” cover.
Paul San
Martin “A French Session” proposes a journey throughout the history of
the Blues piano from a perspective with a French accent taken from both sides
of the Atlantic. On the one hand, the experiences lived during endless nights
at the Caveau de la Huchette in Paris and on the other, the love for the
eternal New Orleans music executed from the mastery and maturity of an artist
who does not obviate any additional influence within the genre when he f
express himself, becaming in his own
right, a reference for many.
