Music reviews of Face to Face
Music Review: Organ / accordion duo works great!
Rating: 5 Stars
Don't forget the name Richard Galliano - he's the modern master on the accordion in jazz, tango and French folk music. Since the legendary Art van Damme has left the accordion scene, Galliano takes the accordion playing to the next level. After many superb recordings in various music styles and combinations on Dreyfus Jazz, Galliano teams with Eddy Louiss on organ for the most odd combination ever recorded by a jazz organist. Galliano's background from French ballroom music on muzette dipped in great understanding of jazz improvisation and sensibility, this duo combination plays enjoyable and charming music on a high level. The CD contains straight ahead jazz to tango and folk music. A stunning version of "I remember Clifford" only confirms that accordion does belong in the world of jazz. Louiss always plays with command, control and sensivity on the B3 and aviods to overpower the accordion with "loud" drawbar registrations. Open your organ mind and buy this CD today!
Description of Face to Face
The two legendary French jazz musicians unite for the first ever recorded collaboration. Louiss' B-3 and Galliano's accordion blend together in a sound that is unique and captivating.Richard Galliano ? Victoria Accordion & Alfred Arnold Bandoneon Eddy Louiss ? Hammond Organ
Accordion player Richard Galliano and organist Eddy Louiss have created a stirring set of duets. Both have impressive pedigrees as players and composers, and this set, recorded over three days at a Paris studio in the spring of 2001, is a brilliant pairing. The sympathetically matched tones of their two instruments create beautifully interwoven lines that at times sound like a single complex and pulsing instrument. The classic Hammond sound of Louiss anchors the bottom end, with Galliano's melodies swooping in and around the organ's mid and upper registers. Besides a commonality in American jazz, they also embrace elements of musette, tango, waltz, and blues. The duo segues perfectly between the disc's 13 pieces. Benny Golson's classic "I Remember Clifford" intermingles naturally with a couple French songs, a Brazilian medley by Baden Powell, and a few other choice covers. Originals by both men straddle tradition and invention with subtle grace. Since the death of Astor Piazzolla, Galliano has become one of the primary composers for the accordion. His "Framboise" evokes his multinational background (he's a Frenchman of Italian descent), while "Azul Tango" would have made the late master proud. --David Greenberger
