Accordeon Vol. 2 : Musette - Swing / Paris 1925-1942
(2-CD set) Following the success of the first volume of AccordEon, musette et swing 1913-1941, here is a new compilation
devoted to a musical genre that was the very symbol of a style of life, of an era, and of a world in which the adjective
"popular" held no pejorative connotation. It includes sides for which space could not be found in Volume 1, plus others
that have been unearthed since.The whole triggers a pleasant thrill of nostalgia, quite apart from the excitement of
rediscovering a whole string of top-class artists : accordionists Gus Viseur, Tony MurEna and Medard Ferrero ; gypsy
guitarists Jean "Matelo" Ferret and his brother Pierre "Baro" Ferret ; and musicians of the calibre of trumpeter
Philippe Brun and alto-saxophonist Maurice Blanc.All styles are represented, from the most musette ("IndiffErence"), via
the most gypsy (a fresh outing for "Nuages"), to the most swinging ("Philippe Stomp", a piece much in the Charles TrEnet
vein). Includes a 24 page booklet with both French and English notes.
