L'accordéon est de retour! -- États-Unis
Contribution de Holda Paoletti-Kampl

Au début des années 1960, le chanteur/compositeur American Bob Dylan a publié "The Times They Are a-Changin ', une chanson qui a été salué par beaucoup comme un commentaire sur la façon dont la culture populaire était alors en rapide mutation. Il en est même arrivé à la période que l'accordéon a été rapidement dépassé en popularité par la guitare électrique, et la musique instrumentale en général - et pas seulement l’accordéon - devient alors beaucoup moins populaires commercialement.

Toutefois, l'accordéon caméléon - comme la capacité de s'adapter à beaucoup de différents genres - a non seulement assuré sa survie, mais a conduit l'instrument a être «découvert» par les jeunes générations.

L'histoire du New York Times démontre que l'accordéon a un nouvel appel pour ceux qui reconnaissent son potentiel dans la musique populaire moderne. Il a également un autre article sur Los Angeles Times.

Ces articles sont écrits de manière très positive concernant un nouveau mode: "l'accordéon est de retour." Cette publicité semble vraiment positif pour l'avenir de la popularité de l'accordéon.
 

Julien Labro sur un nouveau CD «Ville de nuit», Detroit - États-Unis
Contribution de Rob Howard

Depuis les années ‘30, apogée du Quintette du Hot Club de France, avec la guitare virtuose de Django Reinhardt et le violoniste Stéphane Grappelli, combos appelé clubs qui ont mené le son du jazz manouche à travers le monde.

Labro est le lauréat de nombreux concours international d'accordéon, et a joué dans de nombreux lieux de jazz et des festivals aux États-Unis. Ses performances avec le Hot Club de Detroit ont attiré des critiques élogieuses, comme le Detroit Free Press Musique-parole de l'opposition Mark Stryker en notant les "De laisser tomber la mâchoire dans avec la virtuosité" de Labro sur des solos avec "un cri éclatant de joie et de la disciplinée musicalité." En 2005, Labro a attrapé le 1er prix dans la Compétition Art Van Damme Jazz Accordéon International, Vivian Stolaruk Intl. Entertainment Award (Detroit, MI), et celle de 2005 Heineken Jazz Starquest.

Jon Hammond’s Beloved 1970s Accordion - USA
Contributed by Rob Howard

The picture shows Jon Hammond playing his beloved accordion in Topanga Canyon, California, at a wedding in 1971. The instrument, a rare model purchased from the late John Molinari, was stolen during a burglary in 1975 in Boston.

Jon recalls: “An old friend brought me these long lost photos yesterday from 1971! I can't believe it...these are the only photos of me during this period. I was the world's first psychedelic electronic accordion player! I played at the Berkeley Folk Festival with Country Joe and The Fish, Kaleidescope, with David Lindley, jammed with quicksilver Messenger Service (these were all big bands in SF Bay Area during the 1960s). I was 18 years old here! It is the same instrument I won the Jr. Jazz Championship with in 1966”.

A couple of weeks ago a fellow accordionist sent me a Link for an eBay listing that was apparently the instrument. These Giulietti Classic 127 instruments are extremely rare with factory pickups. It went for over 5 grand from a seller in a state of Connecticut. Mine was stolen from me in Boston, which is not far away so I'm pretty sure it was it.

Sadly, I couldn't prove it because I didn't have the serial number documented, sadly. That's the way it goes. Editor: This is lesson to all accordionists how important it can be to have documented the serial number of their accordion and even better, some digital photographs of the instrument and case.

New Concert Accordion Class, Calabria – Italy
Contributed by Holda Paoletti-Kampl

A new accordion class by Professor Giuseppe Scigliano at the Conservatory of Nocera Terinese, Catanzaro, in the Calabria region of Southern Italy, is creating an interesting perspective for those who dedicate their studies to the concert accordion. Until now, the accordion schools in these regions were oriented only towards traditional or popular music music.

Giuseppe Scigliano graduated from Rome's Conservatory under Professor Massimiliano Pitocco, and attended for 3 years the Accordion Course (Italian Accordion Academy) held by Claudio Jacomucci and by many visiting teachers such as Matti Rantanen, Viatcheslav Semionov, Yuri Shishkin and Geir Draugsvoll.

From August 18th to 24th, the Conservatory "P. Ciaikovsky" in Nocera Terinese organized a Summer Campus of Music with their teacher Giuseppe Scigliano, and a Master Class given by Claudio Jacomucci. The organisers were amazed by the interest of the participatants, dedication and commitment of the young students.

Our best wishes to Giuseppe Scigliano and his new accordion class.

Jeancristophe Concerts - France
Contributed by Rob Howard

Le vendredi 19 septembre à l’Espace Culturel Avionnais (Avion - 62) à 20h00. Jeancristophe aura le plaisir d’ouvrir la saison du centre en compagnie de Cactus In Love et Presque Oui.

Biographie Son premier album, L comme lui, et son premier livre, Dos au mur (*), semblaient se distribuer l'un à l'autre les clés d'une histoire, troublante et intime, fragile et violente, où il se laissait perdre et où, au bout du conte , chacun se retrouvait.

Sur scène, Jeancristophe réinvestit avec pudeur des créations impudiques au travers d'univers sonores insolites : multi instrumentiste (piano, accordéon, flûte…), il sample, bidouille, construit ses déstructurations, et emmène le spectateur sur des chemins où tout est à (re-)concevoir soi-même.

Le 10 octobre 2008 – remise du Prix du Marais (Lomme) pour lequel le livre Dos au mur de Jeancristophe concourt.
Le 18 décembre 2008 – Centre Arc en Ciel de Liévin.
Le 21 mars 2009 – Espace François Mitterrand de Bully les Mines (en première partie de Benoît Dorémus)

Contributed by Rob Howard

On Friday, October 3rd, 8pm, at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Miami, singer Jorge Celedón and accordionist Jimmy Zambrano, two of the most highly acclaimed Colombian Vallenato artistes today, perform an energetic mix of up-tempo dance music and romantic ballads.

Individually, they are top musicians, but it's their partnership for the past decade with six hit albums and countless live appearances that have made them favorite performers of Colombians (their hit ‘Esta Vida’ was Number One for 45 weeks!) throughout the Americas and Europe.

At the Knight Concert Hall, they'll combine the emblematic instruments of Vallenato, such as the caja, guacharaca, and accordion - with the big instrumental sounds of a symphonic orchestra for the first time in the US, playing hits such as ‘Ay Hombre’, ‘Cuatro Rosas’, and ‘Esta Vida’.
