Richard Galliano – Les Années Milan (d’édith Piaf à Astor Piazzolla) 2016 2017

Récente "crise grecque" , prospérité qui ne se dément pas outre-Rhin, orientations économiques de Bruxelles : sans cesse l'actualité rappelle l'influence toujours agissante, louée ou critiquée, des ordolibéraux allemands. Cet ouvrage vient donc à son heure pour faire, avec toute la rigueur nécessaire alliée à un grand souci de clarté pédagogique, un point inédit et actualisé sur le sujet - au-delà des clichés et polémiques habituels. …

This album by accordionist Richard Galliano is entitled If You Love Me ( L'Hymne à l'Amour ) and it marks the beginning of a significant collaboration with Gary Burton, an outstanding vibes player who, like Galliano, is a musician of extraordinary poetic feeling. The rhythm is made up of the vastly experienced bass player George Mraz and drummer Clarence Penn, one of the best drummers of his generation. In If You Love Me ( L'Hymne à l'Amour ) there are five tracks by the magnificent Argentine composer and bandoneon player Astor Piazzolla: Milonga Is Coming, Triunfal, Soledad, Operation Tango and Romance del Diablo. Besides the splendid melody that gives the CD its title, written by Edith Piaf and Marguerite Monnot, there are Waltz For Debby by Bill Evans, the beautiful theme from the film Il Postino by Louis Bacalov and Para Jobim by Galliano.

Acclaimed tango and world fusion accordionist Richard Galliano headlines this 2009 performance film, in a trio that also includes double bassist Jean-Philippe Viret and Jean-Marie Ecay. Featured selections include: " Sertao," " Waltz for Nicky," "Spleen" and "Libertango." Accordionist Richard Galliano did for European folk specifically, the early-20th-century French ballroom dance form known as musette what his mentor Astor Piazzolla did for the Argentinean tango. Galliano re-imagined and revitalized a musical tradition, expanding its emotional range to reflect modern sensibilities, and opening it up to improvisation learned through American jazz.
