Marly Jazz Festival - Timeline, Richard Galliano New Viaggio Tango Trio

The Marly Jazz Festival brings together Timeline and Richard Galliano’s New Viaggio Tango Trio at the NEC in Marly on May 23, 2026. The evening is conceived around the dialogue between composition and improvisation, presenting two visions of jazz that move forward without losing the melodic thread.

Timeline opens up a flexible yet precise playing field. The group works with contrasts, stringing motifs and breaks together with a sense of groove that allows the soloists to breathe. Their sound shifts between kinetic atmospheres and pared-back lines, for a set in which rhythmic tension supports catchy themes without excess.

Richard Galliano reunites with his New Viaggio trio, a continuation of a path that has intersected jazz, musette and tango. The accordion leads the dance, between milonga pulses, chiaroscuro waltzes and tightly framed improvisational spaces. One hears clear writing, sustained by the trio’s attentive interplay, crisp countermelodies and dynamics that move from a whisper to collective surges. The compact format is ideal for letting phrases and exchanges circulate, giving Galliano’s repertoire a fluid, songlike expressiveness.
