Tango accordion has a clear icon in the late Astor Piazzolla, but these days Richard Galliano is making a strong case for being the premier jazz accordionist. He's as lyrical as one needs, swings like mad, or brings tempos down to a sensual jog with passion and soul. When called upon, he can play a gut-wrenching tango or two himself. For this effort he's joined by two different crack rhythm sections, the brilliant Jean-Francois Jenny-Clark and Daniel Humair (seven tracks), or the slightly cut below Remi Vignolo and Andre Ceccarelli (four tracks), bass and drums respectively. Even when the swing is light, as on "Caruso," Galliano's button pushing is active, pulsing, and popping. There's much to like on this, Galliano's most engaging CD.
Recorded at Studio Ferber, Paris, May-June 1998.
JazzTimes (12/99, pp.167-8) - "...demonstrates mastery at executing rapid intricate changes full of jazz feeling. His influences are vast....And always he induces dreams of springtime promenades on Parisian boulevards. He is a revelation."
