About this concert
Nato in Francia il 12 dicembre 1950 in una famiglia di origine italiana, Galliano incomincia a suonare la fisarmonica all’età di quattro anni, grazie agli insegnamenti del padre Luciano. Successivamente passa al trombone, studiando anche composizione all’accademia di Nizza. A quattordici anni rimane affascinato dalla musica jazz dopo aver ascoltato Miles Davis e Clifford Brown Dopo essersi trasferito a Parigi nel 1973, diventa compositore e arrangiatore per l’orchestra di Claude Nougaro, dove rimane per tre anni fino a quando non incomincia a lavorare con numerose personalità del jazz, tra cui Chet Baker, Joe Zawinul, Toots Thielemans, Ron Carter, Michel Petrucciani e Jan Garbarek. Un altro incontro molto significativo è quello con Astor Piazzolla, di cui Galliano reintrerpreta – attualizzandolo - il musette, un tipo di ballo che deriva dal tango argentino, creato dallo stesso Piazzolla. Richard Galliano spazia in tutti i campi musicali, dalla classica al jazz è l’unico fisarmonicista a registrare per la prestigiosa etichetta classica “Deusche Grammophon”. Richard Galliano ha registrato più di 50 album a suo nome e ha lavorato con numerosi artisti di fama.

After 30 years from my last Galliano show I've seen in the Hamburg Mojo Club to this evening in Berlin it was some kind of a homecoming.
Brilliant musicians, with a lot of enthusiasm performing on the stage, a good balanced setlist, old and new songs and also an audience who appreciate the energy and the quality of the show. Thx a lot Galliano, for being back. Dancing is back.

Galliano Biography
“It’s hard to tell if it was an idea, or did it just happen…? There’s always a spark, but there must have been some inkling? or coincidence? …or some such that had made the two ends of a piece of string ready to tie again.” With these reflective words, Rob Gallagher announced the return of Galliano with a gig at Bristol’s Thekla in June 2023.
Often miscast as torchbearers of the Acid Jazz scene of the early ‘90s, Galliano were in fact always far more multifaceted and complex. Both of their time and ahead of it, they created a prescient collage of poetry, astral jazz, cosmic funk, conscious soul, dub reggae and dance floor rhythms. “They were the first group to really make the connection between club and jazz culture - the opening line to a space that would later include groups from The Comet is Coming to Ezra Collective,” says longtime supporter Gilles Peterson.
Three decades on, Galliano are back with a new LP Halfway Somewhere released on Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings label. While age brings its inevitable distractions and distance from the cutting edge of youth, Gallagher’s genius in gathering fragments of club culture, documenting his urban environment, and addressing broader global concerns is as sharp as ever.
