Accordion a la Carte . . .

Accordion a la Carte - Louis BregoliAccordion a la Carte - Louis Bregoli

Liner Notes:
Perhaps no other instrument so clearly reveals the capabilities and accomplishments of the performer as does the accordion. From pure melody to sparkling flash, the control and mastery, or lack of it, constantly expose the musicianship of the accordionist.
In this album, the accordion meets its master. Louis Bregoli, with flawless ease, brings to you music at its spectacular best. Long recognized as a leading accordionist, Bregoli has conquered many proving grounds. Not only is he considered one of the finest studio musicians available for exacting TV and Radio work, but his reputation as a leading teacher of the instrument is unquestioned. Never lacking in musicianship and technique, there are no barriers, no compromises. For an example of this wizardry, listen to ‘DIZZY FINGERS” or “NOLA”.
Here’s accordion à la Bregoli — a favorite dish to please and delight, yet sure to suggest a second helping.
