Im Jahr 2025 veröffentlicht Richard Galliano sein legendäres Album „Viaggio“ bei BMG neu, das ursprünglich 1993 bei Dreyfus Jazz erschien. Eine zeitlose musikalische Reise voller Poesie und Emotionen,
die einen Wendepunkt in der Karriere dieses international bekannten Künstlers markierte.
BMG freut sich, dieses remasterte Juwel präsentieren zu dürfen, angereichert mit bisher unveröffentlichten
Bonusmaterial, das Fans und Neueinsteiger gleichermaßen begeistern wird. „Neues Viaggio“ oder „neue
Reise“: Diese Worte klingen wie ein fernes Echo, eine Einladung, in die Vergangenheit zu reisen und erneut
in die einzigartige Atmosphäre dieses mythischen Albums einzutauchen. Wer hat nicht schon einmal von
Zeitreisen geträumt, davon, kostbare Momente noch einmal zu erleben? Mit der Neuauflage von „Viaggio“
wird dieser Traum Wirklichkeit.
„Als ich die Aufnahmen der Studiosessions wiederentdeckte, empfand ich eine tiefe Emotion, eine Mischung
aus Freude und Nostalgie. Die Präsenz von Pierre Michelot und Charles Bellonzi, diesen außergewöhnlichen Musikern, die uns verlassen haben, ist spürbar. Pierre, Miles Davis’ Kontrabassist (Ascenseur pour
l’échafaud), und Charles, „Lolo“, Nougaros Schlagzeuger (Tu verras), bildeten mit ihrer umwerfenden Sensibilität eine Rhythmusgruppe von seltener Eleganz. Und last but not least war Biréli Lagrène, virtuoser
Gitarrist und langjähriger Freund, immer bei uns und verlieh dem Ensemble eine atemberaubende Magie.
Ich freue mich sehr, diese neue Version von

Die Meisterschaft von Fresu, Galliano und Lundgren liegt in den Nuancen, dem gemeinsamen Fluss melancholisch-anrührender Melodien, in den schillernden Texturen und subtilen Wendungen der Musik. Und sie liegt in der Tiefe des schieren Klangs, von der Artikulation jeder einzelnen Note, bis zum inzwischen ikonisch gewordenen Trio-Sound. "Mare Nostrum IV" erzählt musikalische Geschichten mit Einfl üssen aus folkloristischer, klassischer und populärer Musik in Verbindung mit der Freiheit des Jazz.

Ron Carter and Richard Galliano decided to risk intercontinental
collaboration for the second time after 1990, when they recorded their
acclaimed album "Panamanhattan" in Paris
Here the French accordion master, whose fingers fly over the keyboard with
acrobatic ease and can make the instrument weep in melancholy or rejoice with
joy. There the American bass wonder, whose deeply tuned strings enhance more
than 2,500 (!) recordings and are among the cornerstones of the complete artistic
works of Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Archie Shepp, Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin,
Roberta Flack and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Two who have already gained hero
status in their own worlds and can actually only lose when they transgress into
each other's terrain. "Believe me, there is nothing more real than to go on stage
with a gambler," Carter raved about the refreshed liaison with his Gallic buddy.
The two rediscovered the once lost central thread in March 2016 at Jazz Week in
Burghausen as a short intermezzo during a joint appearance with the WDR Big
Band. The provisional climax was then the recording made in Theaterstu?bchen
in Kassel on October 29. Galliano recalled: "Before we got going, I said to him:
"Can you believe it? Twenty- seven years have passed, we are still the same and
I'm still playing the same accordion. To which Ron just responded: "And we have
still same fingers!" With these 20 nimble tools, the two protagonists of the
musical joint venture interact without fear of contact. Neither remains in his
accustomed position. Like two intrepid mountaineers, they balance over a
yawning abyss, perform daring maneuvers and clear the way for each other time
and again. The longer the intimate wanderings of subtle nuances and sensitive,
dancing elegance last, the greater the familiarity seems to be. "Richard really
seizes every rhythmic and harmonic chance," the American marveled about his
French partner. And he replies gallantly: "Ron still looks so young, fresh and
elegant like three decades ago. And he is still enthusiastic, straightforward and
comes straight to the point." An often thoughtlessly used image rarely fits better
than on this very special evening: Ron Carter and Richard Galliano create a
universal musical language, whose vocabulary consists of notes. Risk- free
enjoyment

Sie kö nnten es sich wesentlich einfacher machen, gerade in
ihrem Alter. Etwas spielen, das die Leute mit ihnen identifi -
zieren. Doch wer die beiden kennt, der weiß, dass sie
zeitlebens das Abenteuer Musik niemals von der sicheren
Seite her angingen. Also ließen sich Carter und Galliano
zum zweiten Mal nach 1990 auf das Wagnis einer interkontinentalen Kollaboration ein. „Glaub mir, es gibt nichts Wahrhaftigeres als mit einem Zocker auf die Bü hne zu gehen“,
schwä rmt Carter von der aufgefrischten Liaison mit seinem
gallischen Kumpel.

Strolling through the world by Biboul Darouiche & The Bantu Jazz Connection marks the first vinyl release on Crispy Water and is a vibrant fusion of African rhythms, jazz improvisation, and soulful storytelling, blending ancestral rhythm with contemporary jazz expression. Recorded with an ensemble of outstanding musicians, the album moves effortlessly between groove, spirit, and freedom — connecting continents through sound.

BIBOUL DAROUICHE is a singer, percussionist, composer and head of the ensemble. By playing the conga, djembe, calimba and - the African treetrunk drum (also called nkul or tam-tam, which by the way should not be missing at any concert!) Darouiche brings a very special color to his music. He works mainly in Europe, but his engagements also take him to the Middle East, the countries of the CIS, Brazil and the USA. Since1995 he has been a member of Klaus Doldinger's Passport. He has also worked with musicians such as Al Di Meola, Pee Wee Ellis, Roy Ayers, Graham Haynes, Paquito D'Rivera and the Jazz Baltica Ensemble.

The Austrian multi-instrumentalist and producer MICHAEL HORNEK, who is part of the permanent cast of Klaus Doldinger's Passport as a keyboardist, plays keyboards, percussion and sings. His free-jazzy percussive playing inspires every listener. Hornek's keyboard skills can be heard on over 750 music productions, and the trend is of course increasing!

Mauritian bassist LINLEY MARTHE is one of the world's best bassists. He was a long time permanent member of the band Joe Zawinul Syndicate,worked with musicians like Dave Liebmann, Richard Galliano, Omar Hakimand many more. Zawinul said of Linley Marthe in an interview: “Linley is a phenomenon. I don't know if anyone can match him in terms of bass playing."

ROGER BIWANDU, french musician born and raised in Bordeaux/France, with roots from Congo (DRC) is an artist resident at l'Apollo bar in Bordeaux since june 1997, he plays there one time per month. He played with a lot of great musicians all over the world, with some heavy weights too, like Joe Zawinul, Salif Keita, Marcus Miller, Lee Ritenour, John Beasley, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Franck McComb, to name a few.

The Viennese duo, otherwise known as Tosca, confound expectations on their new album, 'Outta Here'. The sonic collages and smooth downbeat jams with which they made their name are replaced with a soul/jazz/blues confection that's closer to a band like Brand New Heavies than anything else. 'It's called 'Outta Here' for a reason,' explains Rupert Huber. 'The title stands for change, a change to the concept we've had so far. It refers to a change in energy and dynamic. We've been know for an almost ambient sounds. The new songs are much more beatoriented and direct. Basically, it's just a lot more energetic.' it certainly is that. See tracks such as 'Crazy Love' for evidence. Built on a muscular bassline, it sees Rob Gallagher (ex-Galliano) doing his slinky, soulful thing, while keyboards and muted sound effects flare in the background. The rare groove revival starts here. 'Swimswimswim' reworks the same elements, with the addition of Cath Coffey (Stereo MCs) into a irresistible pulse of feel good vibes. Meanwhile, the title track, 'Outta Here', sounds like a lost gem from the early '90s acid jazz era. 'It was a natural evolution,' says Richard Dorfmeister. 'In the past, we were very focussed internally because we were in a studio on our own, working slowly making sonic collages. This time, because we were working more with singers the process was naturally quicker and the results more instant and upbeat. In that sense the title 'Outta Here' literally means that we got out of our studio.'
Do Tosca think the new sound will wrong foot their fans 'It's not completely different. It's still our style and mood, it's just more direct,' says Richard Dorfmeister. 'People always have a picture of you and it can take a long time to change that. You stand for something and that's how they see you. I think people see us in that laid-back and chilled kind of way. Over the last 20 years we've been described as lounge, chill out, downbeat. We always ignored it because we felt it was more about the music. We've always seen ourselves more in terms of being an alternative to commercial music. That's still what we're doing, just in a different, more direct kind of way.'
