	Richard Galliano - Biography - AOL Music
		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.
		In fact, Galliano was more of a jazz musician than a folk one, although he blurred the lines so much that distinctions were often difficult to make.

	Dreyfus Records - Richard Galliano
		Richard Galliano is an incomparable accordionist and composer, who has both revolutionized the traditional music associated with the accordion, and also legitimized that instrument in unconventional genres.
		A Frenchman of Italian ancestry, Galliano is also a major figure in the movement that modernized musette, the turn-of-the century Parisian dance hall music that was France's answer to the tango.
		Galliano, who started playing the accordion as a child, began improvising and adapting the accordion to jazz inspired by Miles Davis's Birth of the Cool sessions and the hard bop of Max Roach and Clifford Brown.

		Galliano's eclectic background came to the fore at the first of his series of festival performances last week.
		Galliano had no problem establishing rapport with the quartet of Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava, who joined him on the third night to play the film music of Nino Rota.
		Galliano's arrangements of Fellini's favorite composer made the most of Rava, clarinettist Gabrielle Mirabassi, bassist Furio di Castri, and drummer Roberto Gatto, but it was the willingness of the band to open up the music and take it in new directions that made the night special.

	FT.com / Arts & Weekend / Art & Design - Richard Galliano, Barbican, London (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The accordionist Richard Galliano extracts an extraordinary range of tonal subtleties and rhythmic complexities from his humble squeezebox, stretching from the pomp of a cathedral organ to the melancholy of a campfire harmonica or the sensual romance of urban dance.
		Galliano’s tango nuevo septet captures brilliantly these complexities, from the ominously sensual double bass and violins harmonised as though for an 18th- century ballroom to the slaps, moans and slurs of vintage Piazzolla.
		Galliano eschews the headlong rush of jazz at its most technical, and James Genus on bass and Clarence Penn on drums seemed to be kept firmly in check.

	Richard Galliano (english)
		Richard Galliano was born in Le Cannet, France, on December 12, 1950.
		With Piazzolla, Galliano realized that he hadn’t gone to Paris to play second fiddle to other people, but to invent a kind of music which, altough deeply rooted in tradition belonged to him, and him alone.
		Richards greatest merit is therefore originality; synthesized all these experiences into a new European music made up of jazz improvisation and a great deal of Mediterranean tradition.

		Galliano's tribute to a musical friendship that lasted until Piazzolla's death on 4th July 1992 was described by his promoters, Serious, as music of "both heart-rending lyricism and bruising power".
		Galliano's music really sings, and he uses the instruments he loves with a soulful touch to reveal joy, passion, tenderness, longing, sorrow, and every other expression of deep human feeling, creating an intense emotional impact with his listeners.

	Richard Galliano Bio
		Richard Galliano has succeeded, through his musical emphasis on melody, rhythm, and harmony, in imposing his instrument in musical contexts that previously ignored itâ”jazz festivals (Marciac, Vienne, MontrÃ©al, etc.) and classical concert halls (Academia Santa-Cecilia in Rome, the ThÃ©Ã¢tre des Champs-ElysÃ©es in Paris, Milanâs la Scala, etc.).
		In 1983 Astor Piazzolla invited Richard Galliano to be the bandoneon soloist at the ComÃ©die FranÃ§aise in his original music to accompany William Shakespeareâs "A Midsummer Nightâs Dream", directed by Jorge Lavelli.

	Richard Galliano : Passatori - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Galliano or his hero Astor Piazzolla wrote this richly romantic music, based in classical, chamber, and tango traditions.
		Galliano wrote the three-part suite "Opale Concerto," the allegro movement an urgent 5/4 and 6/8 motif mixing with active, scattered strings; "Deuxieme" is a sober, swelling, throbbing slowed waltz; and "Troiseme" is back to a more energized 4/4 like a fast freeway jaunt, then settled and pining, and again anxious.
		Piazzolla's suite "Concerto pour Bandoneon" starts with a "Premier" movement that is aggressive, pulse-pounding, and deliberate; another "Deuxieme" with Galliano's bandoneon, harp, and lead violin pulls heartstrings in tip-toe, cat-like delicate, but firmly wrought phrases; and "Trosieme," in presto mode, is loaded with passionate bursts.

	Piazzolla Forever - Richard Galliano - Music Reviews
		Richard Galliano's category-defying blend of European folk music, Astor Piazzolla's tango nueve, and jazz and improvisational elements expands even further on Piazzolla Forever, his August 2002 recording from the Willisau Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
		The work of Galliano's mentor, Piazzolla, is the starting point, but its transformation in the hands of the Galliano septet is so profound and personal that it acquires a wholly new character through the multiple layers of polyphonic firepower of the five-piece string section, Hervé Sellin's piano, and the orchestral might of Galliano's own playing.
		The impression is often one of roller coasters on a collision course that miraculously arc past one another at the last moment to escape fatal impact.

		Galliano proves here that he is not a one trick pony, not a Piazzolla clone, but an incredibly talented musician with ideas and a direction all his own.
		Both should give you a glimpse of who Galliano really is - always a student of the great jazz masters, but at the same time, a true musical genius, who never fails to amaze us with original interpretations of his own music, as well as of fellow compositors.
		Although Galliano has recorded hundreds of pieces, this collection is a good place to start familiarizing yourself with his music.

		Best known for expanding the possibilities of the musette - an early 20th century French ballroom dance - to incorporate contemporary attitudes and the postmodern improv of more traditional jazz, the accordionist Richard Galliano ultimately posed a triple threat in the music world, establishing himself with like force as a composer and arranger.
		With time, Galliano - a protg of Astor Piazzolla - worked elements of Piazzolla's tango nueve into his style.
		The video version of that live concert, Richard Galliano: Piazzolla Forever, packs in onstage footage of Galliano playing the songs from the album.

		Though not jazz in the traditional sense, the improvisational flow and sheer ingenuity of the soloing and phrasing on Galliano's disc is something to hear.
		Though ultimately this is concert music, Galliano has a jazz heart, dedicating the disc to Piazzolla but also to the memory of departed European jazz friends Michel Petrucciani and Jean-Francois Jenny Clark.

	Richard Galliano \| Ruby, My Dear
		Richard Galliano has been working to promote the accordion for well over 25 years now, and he has done more than just about any other musician in pulling the instrument into legitimacy for the mainstream jazz audience.
		The variations in color Galliano can coax from his instrument are bountiful—from whispers to roars and from heartfelt melodies to dissonant stabs—and they always serve the music.
		One of the most interesting and collaborative songs on the album is Galliano’s “Naia,” where Galliano introduces the song through some nice swells and darting sounds from his accordion.
