Марсель Аззоля (1927-2019) - Францияby Rob Howard |
Роб Говард Марсель или Линамарсель Аззоля один из самых известных аккордеонистов Франции, скончался мирно 21 января в возрасте 91 года. Родившийся в Париже в 1927 году в итальянской семье, Аззола с ранних лет проявлял склонность к музыке и аккордеону, а с 1938 года начал играть профессионально. Аззоля был одним из немногих исполнителей, которые преодолели разрыв между великой эпохой мюзетта и джаза в 1930-х годах и до настоящего времени, он был современником Иветты Хорнер, которая скончалась в прошлом году. Он был всеохватывающий и очень опытный музыкант, чей диапазон охватывает разные стили это мюзетт, танго, классика, джаз и свинг. Он выступал и записывался с Эдит Пиаф, Джульетта Греко, Гилберт Беко, Ив Монтан, саксофонист Стэн Гетц, гармонист Тутс Тилеманс, Джанго Рейнхардт, Стефан Граппелли и, прежде всего, Жак Брель. Аззола также играл в нескольких саундтреках к фильмам, в том числе на «Mon Oncle» Жака Тати. Марсель Аззола был уважаемым среди сверстников и любим всеми, кто его знал. Его давним партнером была пианистка Лина Боссати (на фото справа), которая была его аккомпаниатором. |

What Are You Doing For World Accordion Day? - Internationalby Harley Jones |
What are you doing for World Accordion Day to promote the accordion in your country? World Accordion day is on May 6th, which is the day the accordion was patented in 1829. World Accordion Day was started in 2009 by the CIA and has been very successful, generating a lot of positive publicity for the accordion. A key part of this event is the World Accordion Day website. Every association, group, orchestra, performer and teacher, is asked to actively support this event by encouraging national and local accordion activities to happen in their country on this day or the weekend either side of Accordion Day if that should be more convenient. Everyone can register their World Accordion Day activity on the website and send a report of their event after, for that website. No event is too big or too small. ALL accordion events celebrating World Accordion Day are welcome. This is a CIA promotion for the accordion in which every accordion enthusiast can participate and help bring our accordion world together as well as strongly promote the accordion. |
