With Galliano-Piazzolla, no lamentations. The soppy, the smooth have nothing to do here. It is a music full of suffering, of happiness and of anger which has to be played with rage. A music of life and death. For this adventure started more than two years ago in Paris and which was a huge success Richard Galliano has gathered classical and confirmed musicians such as Henri Demarquette, Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabédian or Raphaël Pidoux. They are performing these master pieces not only with a fantastic precision but also with an amazing fervour. Melancholic agonies stretched up to the jam session. Piazzolla Forever is a Tribute. Richard Galliano gave all his talent to this album and above all the extraordinary love and respect he has for his friend Astor.

"Fascinating in its difference from standard American jazz fare."
