Legends Of Accordion

Legends Of Accordion is the definitive modern accordion anthology album featuring accordion legends from Jo Ann Castle to Myron Floren to Dick Contino.  The album contains 40 years worth of great music, from polkas and "champagne" music to Cajun and zydeco.  Jo Ann Castle's original rendition of "Flight of the Bumble Bee", transposed by Castle for the accordion, is simply incredible.

Reviews

"This CD is a remarkable collection of some of the pieces -- recorded between 1950 and 1992 -- which made the accordion famous. . . and infamous. The album begins with an exciting 1981 recording of Lady of Spain by [Dick Contino]. Dick Contino's Lady of Spain is a tough act to follow, but the 1957 recording of Bumble Boogie -- a boogie woogie version of Rimsky Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee -- by Jo Ann Castle (the honky-tonk pianist from the Lawrence Welk TV show) kept my foot tapping."-Henry Dokortski
