Forgot to mention extraordinary accordion artist mostly performing experimental and avangard -- Kimmo Pohjonen. He's the part of band called KTU with Tony Levin on bass or stick bass(King Crimson) enjoy his jazz fest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZF5-1gtC-Q |
Accordeon or Accordion or Accordian? I play accordeon and love to listen to it as well. Very nice sounding acoustic instrument with huge possibilities to replace whole small band. Was experimenting it with drummer only, with trumpet and violin. Also formed 3-piece band with trombonist and drummer. No bassist necessity as accordeon has bass buttons. My top current picks of greatest maestros of today: Jazz button accordeon: Eduard Ahanov Classical button accordeon: Alexander Hrustevitch -- no match see to believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPnVEVnI9-U Records: Accordiion Spectacular by Charles Camilleri Jo Basile -- Rome with Love. Sophisticated and avantgard jazz on CD Caveman Hughscope; KTU DakhaBrakha -- Life Modern folk records/cds with accordion: Japonize Elephants -- there are 4 albums released Joseph Tawardos/Richard Bona -- Chamelions of the White Shadow |
