Maurice Vander

"Du coté de chez swing"

1981 (réf. PJC003).

Piano Trio.

A wonderful trio set from French pianist Maurice Vander.
Recorded in a style that gets back to some of his older modes, but in a way that still retains some of the freedoms Vander picked up in the 70s!
His work on the keys here is all acoustic, none of the electric piano he sometimes used in the previous decade but the tracks sometimes open up with looser passages, especially on some of the drum work form Charles 'Lolo' Bellonzi, who works in the trio alongside Vander's piano and the bass of Luigi Trussardi.

Track listing : du côté de chez swing - conception - two bass hit - lush life - c.t.a. - l'amour trop fort - étude 969 (ho bello solo/tune up) - boplicity.

"Accordéons au Féminin"

2000 (réf. PJC222007).

Cover by Robert Crumb.
In solist, in duet with a banjo, or in full orchestra, here is finally a panorama of the women accordionists: the least known, the stars, the pioneers, the virtuosos or the poetess of the accordion cross themselves on this album, seven women for the greater part forgotten by the history of this popular instrument.
