Accordian licks

David Hidalgo of Los Lobos! He also played accordion (great contribution to the sound) on Dylan's Together Through Life.

Accordeon or Accordion or Accordian?

I play accordeon and love to listen to it as well. Very nice sounding acoustic instrument with huge possibilities to replace whole small band. Was experimenting it with drummer only, with trumpet and violin. Also formed 3-piece band with trombonist and drummer. No bassist necessity as accordeon has bass buttons.

My top current picks of greatest maestros of today:

Jazz button accordeon: Eduard Ahanov

Classical button accordeon: Alexander Hrustevitch -- no match see to believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPnVEVnI9-U

Records:
Accordiion Spectacular by Charles Camilleri
Jo Basile -- Rome with Love.

Sophisticated and avantgard jazz on CD
Caveman Hughscope;
KTU
DakhaBrakha -- Life

Modern folk records/cds with accordion:
Japonize Elephants -- there are 4 albums released
Joseph Tawardos/Richard Bona -- Chamelions of the White Shadow

Many of the top Zydeco bands feature great accordion players. Some, like Clifton Chenier and Boozoo Chavis might better known, but I'd start with Zachary Richard. Snake Bit Love, Women In The Room, and Fatras (Live In Montreal) are all terrific, IMHO. As a bonus, Fatras features some smoking guitar from a very young Sonny Landreth.
