Jazz accordionist, Frédéric Viale
has a sense of swing and melody.
His music is the result of multiple influences and a very great musical culture.
Biography
The accordion is a magical instrument. It is the only instrument that can slip with such ease from gouaille to elegance, from sensuality to candor, from joy to sadness. When Frédéric Viale chose to learn the accordion, he was not yet a magician. It was first of all to do like his older sister and especially for all his friends in the accordion club; it was also perhaps, at the age of 8, to fulfill a paternal dream: before arriving in France, no one in his family of Piedmontese origin had had the means to learn music.
More contemplative than studious at school, Frédéric did, however, diligently follow the lessons of Lucien Galliano (Richard's father). A gifted student -and very quickly passionate-, he won a series of competitions.

Lames Latines
In this new opus, jazz, tango and Brazilian music intermingle under the influence of the great Hermeto Pascoal. Famous musicians participate in this adventure: Marcio Bahia, André Ceccarelli, Jean-Marie Ecay, Thierry Galliano, Diego Imbert, Marcello Martins, Daniel Santiago and André Vasconcellos.
La Belle Chose
Frédéric Viale, the guitarist Nelson Veras, the drummer Zaza Desiderio, the bassist Natallino Neto. They offer us a Brazilian cocktail to which the saxophonist Emanuele Cisi added his talent on some titles. The first album of the Frederic Viale Quartet consists of nine creations and two covers: 'La chanson des vieux amants' by Jacques Brel and 'Valsa sem Nom' by Baden Powell.
