on If You Love Me he's achieved the perfect synthesis by teaming with the renowned vibraphonist Gary Burton, with George Mraz on bass, and with Clarence Penn on drums. It might seem, in theory, that the accordion and the vibes would be an oil-and-water mix, but these two virtuosi make it work -- there's a natural flow from one sound to the other and a shared sense of purpose that turns each track into a serene thing of beauty. Much of the program derives from the master's catalog -- five of the ten songs are Piazzolla compositions. But Galliano and Burton also take on J.S. Bach (Sinfonia 11 in G-Moll, BWV 797), Edith Piaf (the title track, listed in French as "L'Hymne à l'Amour"), and Bill Evans (the classic "Waltz for Debby") and integrate them so seamlessly that they are easily of a piece with the Piazzolla tunes. The theme from the film Il Postino, which closes out the set, is melancholy and minimal, hinting at yet another direction this unlikely pair might go should they decide on a sequel.?
