Wow, thanks for stepping up guys - I've copy and pasted all these suggestions for exploration this weekend. Will perhaps begin with the jazz recommendations as I have nothing in my jazz collection where I recall any standout accordion performances.
I'm certain I've heard some Buckwheat Zydeco at one time or another, and I do have a copy of Beausoleil's 'Cajun Conga' that I plan to revisit.
I would like to to maybe see some music pointed out where artists have tastefully incorporated the accordion in such a way that it almost "completes" the sound of a recording. For example, could one imagine what would "The Trinity Sessions" be like if there was no accordion?
