One of the finest accordion players of his era—with rigorous technique and phrasing that ranges from effusive to elliptical—Richard Galliano moves deftly in the worlds of jazz, musette, tango, Brazilian, and classical music. He digs most deeply into jazz on Sentimentale, using an international quintet that includes pianist/arranger Tamir Hendelman and guitarist Anthony Wilson. The band ably capture the groove of Horace Silver’s “The Jody Grind,” the yearning balladry of Duke Ellington’s “In a Sentimental Mood,” and even the swirling mysticism of John Coltrane’s “Naima.” Also included here are Galliano’s old “Ballade Pour Marion” and his brand-new “Lili,” an airy duo with Wilson.
