FRESU,PAOLO/GALLIANO,RICHARD/LUNDGREN,JA - Mare Nostrum III (2LP+mp3) (Sealed) (2LP)

Fresu, Galliano, Lundgren. Italy, France and Sweden. Mare Nostrum connects: The musical cultures of their actors and countless people all over the world who have listened to this sound of Europe listen enthusiastically. As "quiet, poetic music like a lucky drug" the star aptly described the Mediterranean-romantic Sound landscapes of the trio. And because of all good things are known to be three, the three world class musicians again in the studio, in order to find new "Melodies to kneel down" (Radio Bremen). Paolo Fresu, Richard Galliano and Jan Lundgren have done a lot of together. All of them are great instrumentalists and the love of melody is her trademark. All three scoop also from the rich musical fund of their countries of origin. They have been making music together for over 12 years now. The question whether this is still "jazz" is superfluous: "Call it anything" said Miles Davis already - how right he was! This time again, the same applies as the Rheinische Post for the second Mare Nostrum album so pictorially described: "A record that the Poetry of the oceans combined with the history of music. We travel to Norwegian fjords, the vastness of which has brought us Lundgren's the piano unlocks. For us listeners, the profoundly human the breath of Galliano's accordion and bandoneon on - and about Fresus are grandiosely shining tones, which are a purity requirement for the that few but he can achieve, and yet seem to be carried by the breath of a singer, from the bel canto."
