The Saint-Paul de Vence Festival welcomes tonight at 9 PM – at the Courtine Square – Richard Galliano*, one of the most well-known French musicians worldwide.
Richard Galliano symbolizes the accordion, which he successfully liberated from the minor mode in which it was confined.
Considered one of the most prestigious French jazz musicians, Richard Galliano has managed to establish the accordion as a full-fledged jazz instrument. It is the brilliant and serene success of a musician who has confronted the history of his instrument and triumphed over it.
It has been thirty years! Thirty years and even more since Richard Galliano caused a sensation by daring to bring youthfulness, boldness, and elegance back to the accordion and musette with *Spleen*. This pioneering album marked the beginnings of the New Musette Quartet, followed by thirty years of adventures with extremely varied forms and contents.
For *New Jazz Musette*, the spirit remains with a renewed formation, all aristocrats of melody, clarity, and precision.
