Roland Corporation beschließt Verlegung der V–Akkordeon Produktion - Italienby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 Am Mittwoch, den 6. November gab Alfredo Maroni (Bild links), Präsident Roland Europe Spa , den Mitarbeitern bekannt, dass die Roland Corporation beschlossen hat, ihre Akkordeon Produktion zu verlegen und dass die Produktion von Roland Europe Spa in Acquavivia bis Ende März 2014 liquidiert werden soll.Roland Europe Spa Schließung bedeutet aber nicht das Ende der V-Akkordeon Produktion, sondern dass diese voraussichtlich nach Japan oder asiatischen Raum stattfinden wird. Alfredo Maroni , Präsident Roland Europa teilt mit, dass das Jahr 2013 einen Gewinn von rund einer Million Euro für Roland Europe Spa aufzeichnen wird. Im Moment sind 150 Personen in der Produktion beschäftigt, in welcher die weltweit bekannte Akkordeon Marke das " V -Akkordeon " seit 2005 erfolgreich produziert wird. Seit 7 Jahren organisiert Roland Europa das internationale V-Accordion Festival, das jährlich in Rom stattfindet und nun vor nur 3 Wochen vom 16-19. Oktober seine 7. Edition hatte - Bericht : 2013 Rom Festival Die Roland V- Akkordeons sind ein einzigartiges Produkt, welches kein anderer wichtiger digital / elektronischer Instrumentenhersteller produziert. Das Produkt ist ein italienisches Produkt und enthält viele Teile und Produktionstechniken, die ausschließlich für "Akkordeon" verwendet werden und mit der Region Marche in Italien eng verbunden sind, wo auch die erste Akkordeon Produktion vor 150 Jahren entstand. Ein Branchenexperte (nicht von Roland Europe SpA) glaubt, dass diese Schließung ein Ergebnis des neuen italienischen Steuersystems und Versteifung der Bürokratie sein könnte, welche eine Produktion in Italien weniger lukrativ und weniger wirtschaftlich für die Zukunft macht. Die Roland V -Akkordeon Linie ist ein wertvoller Teil unseres Akkordeon Welt und wir können nur hoffen, dass alle Anstrengungen unternommen werden, um die Entwicklung und Produktion dieses wichtigen Produktes fortzusetzen. Weitere Informationen gibt es, sobald diese verfügbar werden. |

 Jazz accordionist Tommy Gumina died from cancer on October 28th 2013 at the age of 82 in Los Angeles.Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Tommy Gumina, enjoyed a long and very successful career, recorded scores of albums, and very nearly had a cinema career, too. He was cast to play the role of Angelo Maggio in ‘From Here to Eternity’ in 1953, but before it went into production, Frank Sinatra went to the studio and asked for the role. Gumina said he was disappointed but thought Sinatra was "wonderful in the role - probably better than I could have been, but it was a role that I wanted and think I could have done very well”. He added, "I admit I would like to win the reputation of being a fine actor, but the accordion is my real love as a career." Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Tommy Gumina recorded and performed with jazz greats Harry James, Buddy De Franco (forming the De Franco-Gumina Quartet), Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet, Gene Krupa, Joe Pass, Art Pepper, and others. Alto saxophonist Pepper described him as "the incredible Mr. Fingers”. Gumina performed on US TV variety shows of the 1950s/60s such as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Perry Como, and Liberace. He also worked with Nelson Riddle and Billy May, making background music for the TV series ‘Route 66’ and ‘Naked City’, and was on the musical staff of ABC Television. He performed in Las Vegas and at many of the big night clubs in L.A., such as the Cocoanut Grove and the Mocombo. Gumina was discovered at the Tic Toc Club in Milwaukee in January 1952 by Harry James, whose band was in town, and was invited to join. "I don't know how he does it, but Tommy Gumina gets a tone and has a style that I have never heard before from an accordion ... a real jazz feeling”, James later was quoted in an interview. In the 1960s, Gumina was also was an innovator when it came to amplification and equipment, and in 1968 founded the Polytone Amplifier Co. "When it comes to the accordion, Gumina's modifications and amplification development are on a par with Les Paul's guitar inventions....," according to writer Elliott Simon at allaboutjazz.com. Gumina continued to perform and record, including a 1987 disc called ‘Sound Project’ with guitarist Joe Pass, and an acclaimed 1991 album called ‘Autumn Leaves’ (Alfa Records) with Pass, drummer Jimmie Smith and clarinetist De Franco. On the latter, Gumina performed on the Polychord, an electronic accordion instrument of his own design. Gumina, the oldest of three boys, recalled in a 1955 interview with the Milwaukee Journal how he got his first accordion. "I'll never forget. When I was 10 years old, my dad, who had a job at International Harvester Co., had been very ill with pneumonia. I wanted an accordion so bad that I was busting, but I knew we didn't have much money. I told my dad how I wanted an accordion and he said, 'Son, I'll rent one for you. I can't buy one. I haven't any money.' Just renting seemed wonderful to me, but my dad, still too weak to go to work, went to a place to get an accordion - and he didn't rent it. He bought it - on time. Gosh. That's being fine to a kid....". Tommy Gumina is survived by his wife, Marie, a daughter, Mary Jo Gumina, and brothers Manny and Rosario. |

 Jack Alexander, of The Alexander Brothers fame, passed away peacefully on November 2nd aged 77 at the Ayrshire Hospice.The Alexander Brothers, singer Jack and accordionist Tom, were an enduringly very popular act in Scotland with their repertoire of Scottish folk and Country & Western songs and tunes. They turned professional in 1958, and were so successful their recordings even outsold The Beatles in Scotland at one point in the 1960s. They toured the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, appearing with Jimmy Shand at the Sydney Opera House and performed at Carnegie Hall, New York. In recognition of their contributions to the world of music, the brothers received MBEs from the Queen in the 2005 New Year Honours List. When they were boys, the brothers were classically trained, Jack becoming a pianist and Tom concentrating on the accordion. Tom became an All Scotland Champion in the early 1950s. The Alexander Brothers retired a couple of years ago when illness overtook Jack, but Tom Alexander has continued performing as a solo accordionist. |

| Two prominent musicians, Lars Karlsson (Sweden, diatonic accordion) and Øivind Farmen (Norway, concert accordion) have today released a new music video. This video on the concert piece ”BayanTonic” was recorded in October 2013 at Tjolöholms church in Fjärås, near Gothenburg in Sweden. The music is specially written for this very unique instrument constellation and combining the typical folk music instrument diatonic accordion together with a bayan (which is mainly a concert instrument for classical music) is extremely unusual! As far as we know, there is probably no other duo in the world who mixes like this? This duo has already done many concert tours in the Nordic countries but also in countries like Austria and United States. For further information email: info@karlssonsmusik.se |
