 The accordion duo Accordeon Melancolique, Jean-Pierre Guiran and Cherie de Boer, have released a new CD, ‘Gratitude’. Their publicity says, “Sometimes in the lee of a storm, sometimes after an enlightening spring breeze, after an unexpected exchange during a meeting, or if you really should have gone for an appointment ...... and then .... behind the piano or accordion melodies unfold itself. They vary therefore from exuberant dance tunes, through filmic sounds and ska rhythms to jazzy improvisations. A lot of original work, separated by a musette of Gus Viseur and blues that was the closing theme on Dutch Radio for thirty years. But central yet the three original compositions Gratitude I, II and III. Melodies written by Jean-Pierre, but played by Cherie as if they fit her like a glove. We hope that many will enjoy these sounds”. The tracks include: Eléphants Blancs, Swiss Affair, Flambée Montalbanaise, Gratitude I, Gratitude II, Gratitude III, Bailamos la Vida, Creole Love Call, Sans Queue ni Tête, The Singing Moon, Seaside, Cinquante, Farewell Blues, Santiago, Rose de Salon For further information email: info@acmel.nl |

 The Accordions Worldwide news for October 2nd 1998 announced the beginning of the weekly news in Chinese. Details of this landmark development are in the article… ‘Chinese Accordion’ Opening – China Contributed by Li Cong On August 28th the Chinese Accordions Worldwide internet site was opened, the first step being the publication of the Weekly News in the Chinese language. Since then the site has been growing steadily and this week another important first happened. "Chinese Accordion" is the first regular internet news about local accordion events in China. The editor is Accordions Worldwide Chinese Manager Li Cong, President of the Shanghai Accordion Association which is one of the largest and most active in China. "Chinese Accordion" subjects include "Editor's note", general news, "music hall" of concert reviews, "interviews" with prominent Chinese accordion performers, teachers and administrators, and a "new internet sites" section, which lists new Chinese language accordion internet sites. The first issue of "Chinese Accordion" is especially notable because virtually all of the famous Chinese accordionists, teachers and organisations have sent messages of congratulation and reaffirming what an important development this is for the accordion in China. Professor Wu Shouzhi (Chairman of the Chinese Accordion Society) wrote "I deeply believe it is extremely important work that will widen our field of vision, to keep well-informed, improve Chinese accordion skills, communication as well as promote and develop the accordion in China. It is a great development. I represent all the Chinese accordion world, and by my personal name, express my respect and congratulations." Accordions Worldwide Director Harley Jones in an email to Li Cong said "This event is a landmark in the development of the accordion, particularly communication of accordion knowledge within China and between China and the rest of the world. Accordionists worldwide in close cooperation can achieve wonderful progress utilising the internet, to promote education and popularise the instrument we all love." Li Cong replied that he hopes that "Chinese Accordion" and Accordions Worldwide can "serve the accordion world better and better". |
