Free Music Notes for Laurita
Free Music Review: Sophisticated and Laid-Back
Hit: 5 Stars
It took me a few listens before I arrived at the conclusion that Laurita deserves five stars. Some songs I liked instantly. Piazzolla fans should be more than pleased with Galliano's flawless interpretations of Libertango and Milonga del Angel. But those of us who have been Galliano fans for a while already know that he is one of the finest interpreters of Piazzolla on the scene today. The question is now, how does Galliano interpret Galliano and what is it that makes him a jazz artist worth following?On Laurita, he goes a long way toward answering those questions. I have a few other Galliano recordings, and Laurita is one that comes closest to traditional 50s-60s jazz combo style. Right away, I liked the elegant title cut. Then it took me a few more listens to the rest of his compositions to understand and enjoy them fully. Of those, my favorites are Decisione, Blue, and the swinging Mr Clifton. I also enjoy the dreamy rendition of Serge Gainsbourg's La Javanaise.
For those who doubt that accordion works in serious jazz, hearing this CD should dispel that notion. Laurita is sophisticated, laid-back and is highly recommended.
Please note that the CD cover shown is not the one you get when you buy this. But the music is the same!
