On this recording Jerome presents
himself as a great "variety" musician and improviser, although
he is also a classical accordionist as well. What an exceptional
accordionist! In so many ways Jerome's performance is brought
to the level of perfection and I would like to point out the
two aspects which made a big impression on me.
The first would be his improvising
skills. Jerome's improvisations are so mature and at the same
time they are performed with such a youthfulness that the mix
of these two elements leaves an extraordinary impression on
the listener, and gives that special sense of spirituality.
The second
aspect of his performance is his absolute technical superiority.
I felt that there is no technical demand that Jerome cannot
meet.
Breathless
technical freedom together with great accompaniment, spirituality
and good musical taste style wise, makes this recording a great
and enjoyable musical event.
