On this recording Steve Roxton plays ever green accordion numbers, mostly French, such as: Under Paris Skies, Moulin Rouge, Piglle, Lara's Theme, etc. No biographical information about Steve is provided on the CD cover.

Although this recording sounds quite satisfactory, it left me wanting more in style and sophistication. While the performance is all there, Steve has quite a solid technique and the playing is musical, it is lacking just that extra which "cuts the mustard" and makes it a classy, stylish and sophisticated performance. However, it is surely a performance worthy of mentioning. ***
