Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series Vol. 47: Richard Galliano New York Tango Trio – Cully 2022 is a live, spellbinding performance recorded at the Cully Jazz Festival (April 6, 2022), capturing the vibrant chemistry between accordéon maestro Richard Galliano and his New York Tango Trio: Sébastien Giniaux (guitar/cello) and Diego Imbert (double‑bass) .

The album features a blend of original Galliano compositions and Astor Piazzolla classics—five originals and three Piazzolla pieces—infusing tango, musette, and jazz with dance-like rhythms, lyrical melodies, and refined harmony. Highlights include the poignant Chiquilín De Bachín, showcasing delicate accordion phrasing and Giniaux’s cello, and Waltz for Nicky, a dazzling, nearly eight-minute display of jazz virtuosity.

Critics celebrated Galliano’s technical mastery and expressive depth: “almost certainly … the best accordionist alive today … the delicacy, the light and shade … enchanting” The album concludes tenderly as the audience softly joins in La Javanaise, with Galliano acting as gentle accompanist.

Clocking in at about 55 minutes across 11 tracks , this release offers a compelling fusion of jazz, tango, and musette—perfect for those who crave technical brilliance intertwined with emotional subtlety and dance-inspired energy.
