Music by Richard Galliano
Richard Galliano already explored the shared identities between jazz, tango and musette with a tribute to Astor Piazzolla at last year’s Musikfest. He now returns with his trio to revive his legendary album »Viaggo«. When it was released in 1993, Galliano decided, at the behest of his friend Piazzolla, to enrich the musical tradition of musette with jazz elements, in the same way as »tango nuevo«, establishing it as »new musette«. This was a resounding success, with Galliano liberating both Musette and the accordion from their stuffy image. In his hands, the instrument, which had been ignored by the jazz scene for so long, was transformed into a magnificent swing machine with a rich, sultry, full sound. The trio is joined by special guest Joey Baron, one of the most versatile drummers on the scene, who has worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Chet Baker, Stan Getz, John Scofield and David Bowie. »New Viaggo« – a timeless musical journey full of poetry and emotion, its melodies infused with a sense of melancholy and longing!
