about

They vary therefore from exuberant dance tunes, through filmic sounds and ska rhythms to jazzy improvisations. A lot of original work, separated by a musette of Gus Viseur and blues that was the closing theme on Dutch Radio for thirty years.

“Sometimes in the lee of a storm, sometimes after an enlightening spring breeze, after an unexpected exchange during a meeting, or if you really should have gone for an appointment ...... and then .... behind the accordion melodies unfold itself.
