Why not accordion ?

Zd, if you check KTU progressive rock band(accordion based), you will speak completely different on what is achievable or not on accordion. Get creative and play some Purple Haze just using basic acoustic accordion not Rolland V.
Modern generation of accordionists prove it, but still not enough crowd to appreciate. It's all depends on crowd size, not style of music.

The Stalinist government of the Soviet Union were big proponents of the accordion and did much to spread its use and develop its repertoire. The accordionistas are one of his greatest cultural legacies.

MMM perhaps that's why I love it. During that time accordion in Soviet Union schools of music and conservatories was established as classical music instrument capable of performing whole orchestral concerts in unique transcriptions made by various composers.

Oregonpapa,
I've got Myron's records in near-new shape out from the thrift stores for quarter and enjoy them a lot. Myron was a terrific accordionist.
Same with Art Van Damme.

Just caught at the good will super cool record of Art Van Damme quintet self-title on Columbia 6-eye in near-new condition. Enjoyed a lot...

Flaco is mexican harmonica folk player. I like more sophisticated and skilled performances of jazz improvisation or classical music played by accordionist.

My picks for jazz players:

Ludovic Beier -- France (Gypsy Manuche jazz)
Richard Galliano -- France (Jazz)
Pietro Adragna -- Italy(Young jazz musician super fast and artistic and classically trained)
Art Van Damme -- USA (Space Jazz)

Classical:

Yuri Shishkin -- Russia (One of the greatest professors and instructor of classical accordion)
Alexander Hrustevich -- Ukraine (Young and talented with combined jazz and classical repertoire)

Rock:

Kimmo Pohjonen -- KTU band leader -- progressive experimental rock.

I value clean and artistic performance on this instrument. Classically trained accordionists do get my preference. The ones I listed are classically trained.
