Richard Galliano to Appear at New York City Jazz Festival – USAby Kevin Friedrich |
Considered one of the most prestigious jazz festivals in the world, the JVC Jazz Festival New York is a two-week jazz celebration that fills New York City's premiere concert halls, intimate clubs, parks, schools and museums with some of the top musical talent in the world. Started in 1972 by George Wein as the Newport Jazz Festival New York, this festival has been sponsored by JVC since 1984 and has become a famous New York institution. Performing in Zankel Hall of Carnegie Hall on Saturday, June 28th at 8pm, Richard Galliano will perform with Tangaria. Taking the accordion out from the ballroom and into the world of jazz, Richard Galliano has created New Musette, a seductive fusion of styles ranging from samba, salsa, and reggae to waltz, tango, and bolero. His quartet, which recently recorded the CD ‘Tangaria Quartetin Saõ Paulo, Brazil, features Venezuelans Alexis Cardenas and Rafael Meijias on violin and percussion, Belgian Philippe Aerts on double bass, and a special guest from Brazil, Hamilton de Holanda on mandolin. |
