 Richard
Galliano - Born 12 December 1950 in Cannes, in France
In the past, there never seemed to have been one great artist
associated with the accordion, an instrument that, because of
its connotations, seemed as far removed from swing as it is
possible to be. Then along came Richard Galliano, fired by an
unrivalled determination to share his conviction that the accordion
was worthy have a place at the heart of jazz alongside the saxophone
and trumpet. Inspired by the admiration he felt for his friend
Astor Piazzolla, creator of the Tango Nuevo, Galliano succeeded
not just in doing this, but with his "new musette"
style managed to breathe new life into a thoroughly French tradition
that seemed to have got stuck.
Son of the Italian born accordion teacher Lucien Galliano, Richard
(pictued right at age 7 years old with his father Lucien) started
playing the instrument at the age of four. At the same time
as he was learning the accordion, he also studied harmony, counterpoint
and trombone at the Nice Conservatoire. It was the discovery
of the music of Clifford Brown that introduced him to jazz,
at the age of 14, and while he picked up his style of playing
choruses, he found, to his amazement, that the accordion was
almost unknown in this type of music. Galliano then got interested
in Brazilian accordionists like Sivuca and Dominguinhos, discovered
the American specialists who approached jazz (Tommy Gumina,
Ernie Felice and Art Van Damme), and the top Italian players,
Felice Fugazza, Volpi and Fancelli, turning his back completely
on the traditional style of playing that dominated in France.
In 1973 Galliano moved up to Paris where he impressed Claude
Nougaro. He spent three years as arranger and conductor as well
as composer in a group where he found himself playing alongside
real jazz musicians. He also played on countless recordings
by popular French artists like Barbara, Serge Reggiani, Charles
Aznavour and Juliette Gréco, and on film scores. From
the beginning of the 1980s he was able to play much more often
with jazz musicians from all backgrounds and improvise alongside
them: these included Chet Baker (in Brazilian repertoire), Steve
Potts, Jimmy Gourley, Toots Thielemanns, the cellist Jean-Charles
Capon, with whom he cut his first disc, and Ron Carter, whom
he paired up with to make an album in 1990.
In 1991, following the advice of Astor Piazzolla, whom he had
met in 1983 while working on incidental music for the Comédie
Française, Galliano went back to his roots, and the traditional
repertoire of Valses-Musette, Javas, Complaintes and Tangos
that he had long disregarded. Taking a lead from the spirit
of Gus Viseur and Tony Murena, he managed to rid the accordion
of its old-fashioned image by working on the three-four rhythm,
and introducing a whole new rhythmic concept and harmonic style
to adapt it to jazz. He announced his new approach on the CD
New Musette that he recorded with Aldo Romano, Pierre Michelot
and Philip Catherine for Label bleu, and it won him the Académie
du Jazz's Django Reinhardt Prize for "French musician of
the year" in 1993.
This led on to a whole series of albums where Galliano, playing
his trademark Victoria accordion, has shown his ease in adapting
the instrument to the freedom of jazz. His assurance, mastery
of phrasing, and ability to get a vast range of tone-colours
from the accordion have meant that he has broken down musical
barriers with an instrument that cuts across all genres. In
1996 he crossed the Atlantic to record his New York Tango with
George Mraz, Al Foster and Biréli Lagrène, a disc
that later won him a Victoire de la Musique prize. He started
to gain an international reputation, and a host of new collaborations
followed. He created some unusual instrumental pairing, getting
together with artists ranging from Enrico Rava, Charlie Haden
and Michel Portal (their 1997 disc Blow Up was a huge commercial
success, selling more than 100,000 copies), to his fellow accordionist
Antonello Salis, in Italy, and the organist Eddy Louiss, in
2001. For years he played in a trio with Daniel Humair and Jean-François
Jenny-Clarke (from 1993 until the death of the bass-player in
1998), and then returned to this format in 2004 with a "New
York" rhythm, made up of Clarence Penn and Larry Grenadier.
There have also been one-off collaborations with Jan Garbarek,
Martial Solal, Hermeto Pascoal and Anouar Brahem, Paolo Fresu
and Jan Lundgren, and Gary Burton, among others. In 1999 he
presented his own compositions, with chamber orchestra accompaniment,
together with pieces by Astor Piazzolla. This led to his 2003
homage Piazzolla Forever, in which he went back to playing the
music of his mentor
Galliano is an exceptionally versatile musician, able to make
his mark in all kinds of musical contexts, from solo appearances
(like the Paris Concert from the Châtelet, which came
out in 2009), to playing with a big band like the Brussels Jazz
Orchestra, in 2008. His exceptional abilities as a soloist are
now well-recognized, and he continues to explore a vast range
of music, without ever losing that lyrical quality that infuses
the ballads on Love Day that he recorded with Gonzalo Rubalcaba,
Charlie Haden and Mino Cinelu, or the French Touch which allowed
him to make the link between Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf,
with the trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.
Keen to pass on his wealth of experience, he is the author,
together with his father Lucien, of an accordion method that
won the SACEM prize for Best Pedagogical Work in 2009.
