"You can never get enough squeeze, right? So how about three button accordions, a full blown chromatic and a bagpipe just to give it all a little color. Stir it all together and you get the quartet COCKTAIL DIATONIQUE. They present a varied program of traditioanal and original pieces, solo to full band, overlaying so many drones and appegios as to be dizzying at times. There are some virtuoso performances here, particularly their marvelous interpretation of "Acquarelli Cubani," composed by Luciano Fancelli, who the band refers to as "the Charlie Parker of the accordion." It's got great rhythmic attack and a fine swing. The other premier piece of the set is a soulful "Ma Commere, Ma Mie" arranged for bagpipes and chromatic box; lush and absolutely gorgeous. Then some Breton ballads, tunes, gavottes and drinking songs bring the album to its dénouement, a little accordion fired ragtime. - CF (RootsWorld) |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
