« At a certain point, the meeting with Gary Burton was, I believe, inevitable, even perhaps written somewhere. I've always liked the vibraphone and, naturally, Gary Burton. I first heard the accordion/vibraphone association many years ago, when I was twelve. At the time, my teacher led me to discover a fabulous record: "Cocktail Capers" by the Art Van Damme Quintet. It was an unforgettable shock that in some way marked the course of my musical journey.
This album evokes, I believe, an intense emotion and profound feeling of Peace and Love, a chiaroscuro like a Rembrandt painting or a poem by Lamartine. The vibraphone's blades vibrate with the keys of my accordion and will, I hope, make your soul vibrate to this hymne à l'amour that raises itself, more than ever, against violence, terrorism and war. » (Richard Galliano)
