about

"About Time" is the second album of Martin Salemi,
Out on 01/10/21 on Igloo Records

After his first album "Short Stories" which seduced us with its mix of syncopated grooves, luminous ballads and chiselled melodies, Martin Salemi is back with a new album. Refined, with a hushed atmosphere, its coherence of purpose and musical maturity confirms his talent in offering us timeless music, outside fashions and trends, a sincere music nourished by a great humility. With "About Time", Martin Salemi and his trio succeed in creating a work that is at the same time dense, compact and airy, while letting the music breathe and never seeming to force it.

His influences include Stefano Bollani and Diederik Wissels, as well as American "new wave" pianists such as Aaron Parks and Gerald Clayton, and the great masters Keith Jarrett, Brad Mehldau and Gonzalo Rubalcaba; all of this with a hint of ECM aesthetic. His many influences have not prevented Martin from creating his own unique identity: the pianist likes to wrong foot us, not to be where he is expected. This is what makes his music so varied and so very personal.

Memories and reminiscence are the themes of tracks like "Remembered" or "One Fine Day", while the haunting groove of “Doubt” is a celebration of uncertainty; then slower pieces with lyrical melodies evoke the serenity and calm of deep waters. In the end, Martin Salemi leaves us on a high note with "Most of the Time", a ballad without lyrics which, if it had any, would sing that most of the time, everything is fine...

The trio get it together with big band goodness and show how well it _just works_, like it was meant to have always been that way. "Untitled#1" is outstanding. "Herne Hill", the muted trumpet through to the finale - wonderful. The rest - well - enjoy it yourself! :) Peter Jones

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid

Powerful playing on this album! Wow Alexi is killing it with Herbie Hancock sensibilities!!! This is a tight-knit trio and add Verneri Pohjola on trumpet to the mix and you have one hell of a recording. Man, I ordered the vinyl and looking forward to giving this one repeated spins. Rob O.
