    If you're really interested in accordion, I started a thread in Other Music a few weeks ago.

    You would put Buckwheat on a list that doesn't already have Clifton Chenier above him? Cripes.

    Three Europeans definitely deserve to figure in any list of accordionists:

    Stian Carstensen, Norway
    Richard Galliano, France
    Pascal Contet, France

    If you don't know them, check them out, they're all awesome and have changed a lot of peoples opinion of that instrument.

    Astor Piazzolla played the bandoneon, not the accordion.

    Your list should include Ted Reichman, IMHO.

    Thus far, I've heard:
    Vorn (an old solo lp on FMP that is fun, odd, OK),
    Blue Goo Park (with J. Leandre, not a great album but good),
    Very Centre of Middle...(whatever it's called - a duet with Irene Schweizer, very good)
    Night and Day Plays them all - Carl only on tenor

    yea, well I'll add a concertina player if I can think of one.

    To be honest, I don't know that much about good accordion players. I just thought i would try to beat the folks who do out of the bushes.

    Rollhead, may I ask you what qualities or works allowed Andrea Parkins to be n° 1 of your list ? I assume it's not virtuosity.

    I put the names in a bag, shook them up, and dropped them on the floor, Andrea Parkins turned out to be on top. Plus, I like her music.

    I very much like his stuff with The Virtual Cowws and the Canvas Trio's, Moments.
