Description
An evening with bass legend Ron Carter and leading accordion player Richard Galliano, recorded live at the Theaterstübchen, Kassel in 2016.
Carter and Galliano decided to risk intercontinental collaboration for the second time after their 1990 recording in Paris, which resulted in their acclaimed album 'Panamanhattan'. In one corner we have 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. In the other we have 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.
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!"
