Alright ? Who brought the bandeon to the jazz gig?

Is it just me or does it seem like 2010 is the year of the high-profile bandeon on jazz recordings? I understand Wynton is using one on an album, and XM-70 has the Danish Jazz Orchestra in heavy rotation featuring this little sawed-off accordion. I submit, IMHO, that this monstrosity should be banished from anything respectfully calling itself jazz (with the possible exception of weird ECM recordings). Every time I hear one I expect Maurice Chevalier to pop out from behind a tree to start singing... Blech!!!

Or does the rest of the world love this thing?
