Claude Diallo Situation已經多次來台灣，每次演出都造成熱烈迴響，曲目多為三重奏與奇數拍的曲子，他們常常改編爵士經典曲，並且改成難度較高的奇數拍，默契絕佳的配合加上演奏能力優秀的團員，是個不容錯過的組合。

Claude Diallo Situation已經錄製出六張專輯，經常出沒於各個爵士音樂節，並且於2012年獲得Kind of Jazz首獎。
Since their first CD release „Traveling with Music“ in 2008, the band produced 4 additional recordings and 1 DVD. Their newest album „Motion in Progress“ features Swiss soul star „Seven“ and appeared internationally in collaboration with the Swiss Jazz label „Unit Records“ in March 2013.
Following several successful tours in Switzerland and throughout Europe, the trio was invited to perform in Asia. With concerts in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, the trio delighted fans, highlighting their tours with performances at
the „Taipei International Jazz Festival“, „Ikebukuro Jazz Festival“ in Tokyo, „New Vision Festival“ in Hong Kong and a special invitation concert for Swiss President Doris Leuthard in Singapore. Further- more „Claude Diallo Situation, Live at No Black Tie, Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia“ was released through the label „No Black Tie Records“ in 2011 and features Malayan alto sax player Julian Chan.
In 2010, the three young European musicians were　given the honor　to tour Switzerland and France with tenor sax legend Andy Mc Ghee
(legendary performer with giants such as Lionel Hampton and Woody Hermann) and in 2012 the band was chosen „Best Jazz Band“ among 12 jazz groups from Switzerland that participated in the „Kind of
Jazz Award“ series at the legendary „Kaufleuten Club“ in Zurich, Switzerland.
The trio has also been privileged to record with Canadian singer Denzal Sinclaire among other great musicians. The Claude Diallo Situation has achieved a high, and reputable performance standard,
thrilling audiences worldwide.
REVIEW NOW THEN
by Terrell Holmes (THE NEW YORK CITY JAZZ
RECORD, March 2011 issue)
Pianist and composer Claude Diallo displays a striking array of talents on his new release, Now Then. His trio, the Situation, plays with a refreshing cohesiveness and dynamism and Diallo leads the way with
his robust technique, cleverness and palpable sense of joy.Accompanied by the pleasant grousing of Laurent Salzard’s electric bass and the steady timekeeping of drummer Massimo Buonanno, Diallo shows that he’s a master of embroidery, imaginatively balancing coy and dynamic single notes, sustained trills, gospel-
inflected and dramatic block chords, cascading flourishes, playful splinters of atonality and barrelhouse rumbles at the deep end of the keyboard. Diallo can be as playful as a sprite and his lively interpre-
tations of «I Feel Good Today», «Glad That I’ve Found You», «Dee Song» and «La Danse des Colibris» give the piano the character of a singing group, with each member soloing in a distinct voice.Another element of Diallo’s splendor is the balance of strength and
tenderness he brings to ballads like the soft waltz «Broken Wing»
and «Une Larme Pour», his touching solo tribute to teacher and co-composer Charlie Bana- cos. The pianist steps aside for «On the Way to Valencia», a vibrant flamenco bassdrums duet composed by Salzard. Buonanno’s abundant percussion is a hand-in-glove complement to Salzard’s fiery riffs, which land in the center of Andalucía at the intersection of Pastorius and Segovia.The arresting and ambitious «Water Against Fire» is a surprising tour de force. This song, which has the character of a suite and is spiked
with electronic effects, works around a series of spiraling figures that branchoff into luminous solos encompassing Diallo’s urgency, Buonanno’s frenetic drumming and the affecting melancholy of Salzard’s bass.Perhaps the Situation is at its best, though, on a live version of Dizzy Gillespie’s «Birks’ Works». The band really stretches out, playing with its greatest fluidity and opulence and the keys jump to life beneath Diallo’s deft fingers as he hammers out bodacious blues chords. Everything the band has shown on the disc is synthesized on this cut and it ends Now Then with an impressive flourish.
