Accordion + Jazz = …

Some of you hearing world accordion will think… yea, I know what it is. It is the instrument that my grandfather played on during family events.

Another part will think… yea I know what it is. It is the kind of menu.

Another part will think yea, I saw it, it is this folksy instrument.

You all have right. I am here to say that there are other ways you can look at accordion. It can have buttons on both ways. On the accordion you can play everything. Transcriptions of classical music, jazz, folk, electronic music and other kinds.

Here are the few examples.

• Classical
• Jazz
• Folk - musette
• Electronic - trans

In my view the most important person for accordion nowadays is Richard Galliano. I really recommend looking at his recordings, there are variety of styles.
