Chuco Valdez and Richard Galliano

North Sea Jazz Festival Sets Recorded By Radio Netherlands

Simultaneous, multiple, mega-sized concerts for three days — that's the agenda at the mighty North Sea Jazz Festival, held every July in a huge convention center in Rotterdam. For every show you catch, you miss half a dozen, so hardcore fans plot their evenings in advance, and leave one set in the middle to sprint to another, as we do on this episode of JazzSet.

After half an hour with the stunning accordion of Richard Galliano and his quartet of name players from Cuba, West Africa and the U.S., we check out piano wonder-of-the-world Chucho Valdés from Havana. Valdés calls his eight-piece group his "big band."

The youthful Galliano (born 1950 in Cannes) taught himself to play Clifford Brown trumpet solos on the accordion. In Paris, he worked with Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. Inspired by Piazzolla's renewal of the tango, Galliano revived a forgotten form of turn-of-the-century Parisian dance music, the bluesy musette. He replaced the bagpipes and horns of the original musette with his accordion and a jazz rhythm section. Galliano is expansive, embracing the full romantic arc from Edith Piaf songs to Brazilian music, and most recently Bach.

You forget that this instrument is rare in jazz, or that anyone except Galliano ever played it.

And then there is Chucho Valdés. Even after he lowers himself to the bench, Valdés (born 1941) is tall and direct. A glissando from Chucho makes something happen. He commands an exquisite blend of Cuban music with African roots and North American jazz. Valdés first performed in the U.S. at Carnegie Hall in the late 1970s with his Grammy-winning fusion group Irakere, with Paquito D'Rivera and Arturo Sandoval.

Enrico Rava and Richard Galliano plays Spleen

Richard Galliano....

Richard Galliano was born the 12 of December 1950 in Le Cannet, France. As its father he very started young to touch accordion, but he was with trombone that he initiated the musical studies of composition in the academy of Nice. He was in this period, years 60, that he got passionate himself for the jazz, influenced for of Miles Davis in the phase of Cool-Jazz, foca in this musical sort. As he would come to discover, he is not easy to be itself musician of jazz in the Europe, over all for a acordeonista, what he took it Paris in the year of 1973, where would finish as conducting, composer and arranjista of the orchestra of Claude´s Nogaro. But the bichino continued there, during the three years that the orchestra lead, never forgot the jazz, and whenever it can was involved in projectos touching with musicians as Chet Baker, Joe Zawinul, Toots thielmans, Ron Carter, Michel Petrucciani or Jan Gabareck.
But something was for happening that it would go to change its musical options, the contact with Astor Piazzola made Gallianio to believe that it would have to be focar in the European musical inheritance, desusada or declining considered music then, but certainly with beauty enough to be worked and acarinhada. E is what it has come to make in last the 15 years, creating a new chain, based in folk European, that many call New Musette.
