Rare opportunity to see Richard Galliano in New York, May 2010

At Lincoln Center, NYC May 14 and 15, 2010. Two shows 7:30 and 9:30.

I thought everyone should know about this one. Richard Galliano (genious jazz accordionist from France) will be performing with Kurt Elling (genious jazz vocalist from America) along with Elling’s longtime pianist Lawrence Hobgood. Galliano seems to be creating a trilogy of collaborations with American jazz artists. His disc Love Day, with icons Charlie Haden, bass, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, piano, was released in 2008 on the Milan label. (A stunning disc.) He just put out a disc with trumpeter Wynton Marsalis  From Billie Holiday to Edith Piaf Live in Marcaic. Knowing Marsalis’ relationship as director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, a now sanctified cultural celebratory organization, I expect there was some of the trumpeter’s influence in this concert. And if that is true I say thank you!!! And I would be surprised if there was not a disc forthcoming from this concert.

Elling says the concerts are called Passion World. And that the two will perform songs from around the world.

I can’t wait to hear this! Galliano rarely performs in the United States. I’ve got my tickets for Saturday night already. This is one of those few not to be missed concerts.

One of the most heartfelt voices in contemporary jazz, Kurt Elling gets together with the great French master of jazz accordion Richard Galliano to explore the language of love in a journey around the world. Join Kurt and Richard as they sing and play internationally famous ballads of love and loss in their original tongues – whether you’re a native speaker or not, the meaning is clear.
