Mare nostrum III

Description

Magnificent meeting of three great European musicians "Mare Nostrum" is the magnificent meeting of three great European musicians: Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, French accordionist Richard Galliano, and Swedish pianist Jan Lundgren. The group forges links between the delicate musical cultures of its three protagonists. The opinion of critics from many countries was unanimous on their first two albums: these three musicians have found their way by composing something timelessly beautiful. This "lyrical jazz ensemble with a keen sense of self-control" (Downbeat, USA) has created "an admirable album with authentic radiance" (Jazz Magazine, France); it has spread "poetry and originality" (Süddeutsche Zeitung, DE) while being "gentle, intimate, and sometimes meditative" (Stern, DE). The tranquil melodies, imbued with nostalgia, deliver a message of serenity, peace, and humanity. When the trumpet and accordion, exchanging their plays of light, meet the subtle harmonies of the piano, one irresistibly wants to set sail and let oneself be carried away.
