Richard Galliano, accordion / Paolo Fresu, trumpet / Jan Lundgren, piano
"Full of poetry and originality" (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
Paolo Fresu - Richard Galliano - Jan Lundgren. Italy - France - Sweden. "Mare Nostrum" connects: The musical cultures of its protagonists and countless people worldwide who listen enthusiastically to this sound of Europe.
With the Sardinian trumpeter, the French accordionist and the Swedish pianist, a trio of different characters have come together to form a symbiotic alliance.
A jazz supergroup of three exceptional musicians who, despite their different backgrounds and different instrumental families, have been able to combine many similarities to create an ideal sound.
All of them are outstanding melodists, all of them have always endeavoured to expand the supposed boundaries of jazz, and all of them have found what they were looking for in their national musical heritage.
And for all of them, the sea of their homeland plays more than a symbolic role, as a mental source of inspiration that stands for travelling, exchange and vastness: "Mare Nostrum".
