While the Italian and Dutch jazz scenes seem to have garnered all the attention lately, the French jazz scene has a strong presence, as this CD can attest. The frenetic accordion of Richard Galliano and the clarinet work of Michel Portal are the perfect complement for each other on this live album, recorded in Paris in May of 1996. The duo performs a collection of Astor Piazzolla, Hermeto Pascoal, and original tunes that blur the lines between world music and jazz. Pascoal's "Chorinho Pra Ele" is reminiscent of Carl Stalling, or perhaps the neo-alpine folk of Die Knodel. Piazzolla's "Libertango" is a squeeze-box duet, with Portal on bandoneon. Galliano-penned tunes are introspective, while Portal's swing. All in all, even with the countless tango and Piazzolla-related collections, it's a recommended record. Be sure to play it loudly; it just gets better with volume. --Jason Verlinde

Album Description

November of 2004 - Jeff and Chuck invited the band to perform for their concert series "The Gatherings," at St. Mary's Church in Philadelphia. Afterwards, Chuck invited the band back to WXPN studios to perform live on the air. We arrived late - 1:45 a.m. - after French food and battling traffic. Jeff rushed to set up microphones and connect wires. We drank wine with John Garaguso from Progressive Soundscape, our managers Karen Lee and Karen Doran, and other guests. We asked Chuck what we should play, and he gave us free reign. We improvised for an hour.

Stars End was recorded live on November 14th, 2004, at WXPN radio station in Philadelphia. The CD is titled after Chuck Van Zyl's show "Stars End" which has aired every Saturday night since 1976. It was engineered and mixed by Jeff Towne.

The recording is due in large part and dedicated to Chuck Van Zyl, Jeff Towne, John Diliberto, Karen Lee, Karen Doran, John Garaguso, Spencer Gordon and Jessica Shaw.

Instrumentation - electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards, cello, harmonica, wine bottle, tibetan singing bowl, vocals, dinner bell, small gong, whistling
