Richard Galliano

3 concerts

French accordionist Richard Galliano, born of Italian descent, revitalized musette with jazz influences like Piazzolla did for tango. He collaborated with Wynton Marsalis, Jan Garbarek, and Charles Aznavour. Known for impactful albums like Laurita and Mare Nostrum, Galliano blurred genres since the '70s, recording with artists like Ron Carter and Charlie Haden. He was also a conductor for Claude Nougaro. Galliano's work includes classical tributes on Deutsche Grammophon and jazz projects like New Jazz Musette.
