Richard Galliano is a French accordionist of Italian heritage. After a long and intense period of study, at 14, in a search to expand his ideas on the accordion, he began listening to jazz and heard records by the trumpet player Clifford Brown. The second decisive meeting took place in 1980, with the Argentinean composer and bandoneonist Astor Piazzolla.
Astor strongly encouraged Richard to create the French ?New Musette?, as he himself had previously invented the Argentinean ?New Tango?.
Some later collaboration include Chet Baker, Eddy Louiss, Ron Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Charlie Haden,
Gary Burton, Michel Portal, Toots Thielemans and Kurt Elling.

The King Rides Out (based on ?Good King Wenceslas?) starts conventionally enough but turns into a country-style song and then there?s a three-part Bach-like contrapuntal section, concluding with a wistful coda. Waltz with Holly ? or Possibly Ivy (based of course on ?The Holly and the Ivy?) turns into a dreamy waltz with long extended phrases and a good vehicle to show the oboe player?s tone quality. The Merry Gentleman go Latin is a lively rumba version of ?God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen?.
