The accordionist, composer and sound engineer Marc Berthoumieux, is one of the consecrated names in jazz in that beautiful and peculiar instrument that is the accordion, of which France treasures some of its best performers. He has collaborated, among others, with Charles Aznavour, Harry Belafonte, Didier Lockwood and Dee Dee Bridgewater. In 2011, he recorded his album "In other Words" with Giovanni Mirabassi, beginning a fruitful relationship with the Italian pianist who brought them to Jazz San Javier in 2014, in a special festival project with Melanie Dahan. If the accordion played by a great master, as is the case, is already a promise of beauty, what can we say if we add the piano played by a great European jazz, like Giovanni Mirabassi. This quartet has the potential to take festival jazz fans into the stratosphere. You just have to sit down to listen and let the beauty flow.
