New Tom Alexander CD, Scotland – UKby Rob Howard |
 Accordionist Tom Alexander MBE has released a new CD, ‘More Bits and Pieces’, a sequel to his previous recording ‘Bit and Pieces’, another great collection of musical all sorts. Tom, the accordion playing half of the renowned Alexander Brothers (who, incidentally, celebrate 50 years in show business in 2008) takes time out once more to enjoy himself as an accordion soloist.About half of the tracks are Scottish tunes, performed as concert pieces rather than in dance settings. The other tracks include melodies, old and new, such as ‘Snow Train Shuffle’, an accordion solo made famous in the 1950s by America’s John Molinari, ‘Veronique’ - a valse musette, ‘Rumbango’ - a cha cha, a Beatles medley, and ‘Tea For Two’, originally written as a song in the1920s, but here played in a jazzy style. Tom Alexander’s classy playing and ability to use MIDI with great taste are much in evidence throughout this splendid recording. For further information email: tommynewcomen@hotmail.com |
