Synopsis

Album Description

A wonderful masterpiece created by three outstanding musical legends! Top international music critics celebrate Mare Nostrum as one of the most beautiful albums of the year. "Richard Galliano has succeeded, through his musical emphasis on melody, rhythm, and harmony, in imposing his instrument in musical contexts that previously ignored it." -- All About Jazz "Paolo Fresu [is] surely the greatest trumpeter to emerge from Italy since Enrico Rava." -- All About Jazz

CD Reviews

Beautiful than paradise

Ali Haluk | Istanbul, Turkey | 05/27/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Paolo Fresu (trumpet - Italy), Richard Galliano (accordion and bandoneon -France) and Jan Lundgren (piano - Sweden) have collaborated for a very sentimental album that can win everybody's heart easily. Fresu's style is somewhere between Chet Baker and Enrico Rava (not as sophisticated as Rava). His "mediterranean touch" is so strong. He generally prefers muted solos to create this effect. Galliano is the top player for accardion and Lundgren presents a perfect base for their solos. Eleven of songs are original compositons, other's from Jobim, Ravel and Trenet. That's a perfect combination altogether. And for me, as a Turkish listener, 12th cut, "Mio Mehmet, forse il destino m'impedira di rivederti" is a real surprise. Because, Fresu's inspiration in this compositon is Nazim Hikmet. Thanks to the universal language of his poetry and Mr. Fresu's in-depth knowledge and sensitivity..."

What a trio!

"The interplay between these three musicians is wonderful and the music is very melodic. This a very well recorded album and a joy to listen to."

A MASTERPIECE OF HARMONY AND MELODY

"Among the best jazz interplays ever made worldwide and one of the best albums of this decade .What to say stellar playing from Paolo fresu/trumpet flugelhorn Richard Galliano /accordion bandoneon and Jan lundgren / piano .Rich Meditteranian sound colours dominate the recording along with melody and harmony .SUPERB ."
