The North American Jazz Alliance are modern exponents of a long held tradition, and this new recording, ‘The Montreal Sessions’, is a jazz accordion CD that represents the tradition very well indeed. This CD – available via Amazon - is contains standards given a jazz treatment, plus Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Oblivion’, performed in typical Argentinian tango style. Accordionist Kotwitz leads the band through Cole Porter’s ‘Just One Of Those Things’, Neal Hefti’s ‘Cute’, etc, in a swinging style. Montreal-based vocalist John Labelle is heard to good effect on ‘Close Your Eyes’, ‘Nobody Else But Me’, and ‘Dancing In The Dark’. Tracks: Just One Of Those Things; Close Your Eyes; Cute; Oblivion; Angel Eyes; Nobody Else But Me; Delilah; Charade; Dancing In The Dark; It Could Happen To You; Only Trust Your Heart; That’s All |
