[Harp-L] Accordian and harmonica idea

[Winslow Yerxa]

Toots has recorded with two accordionists. 

In about 1984 he recorded a trio of albums in Brazil with accordionist Sivuca and singer Sylvia Vrethammar; there was also a film about the project which you can see on Youtube.

In the mid-1990s he recorded a couple of tracks with French accordionist Richard Galliano on one of Galliano's albums.

Sometime in the 1950s or '60s Cham-Ber Huang recorded an album with legendary classical free-bass accordionist Mogens Ellegard.

And Richard Hayman recorded the album Harmonica Holiday "with harmonica choir" that included not only eight harmonicas (Hayman, Charlie Leighton, Eddy Manson, Cham-Ber Huang, Alan Pogson, Michael Chimes, Leonard Schwartz, and Blackie Schackner or Lou Mok) but also two accordions (Dominic Cortese and William Costa).

I can rarely recall if there have been any landmark albums featuring the accordian and chromatic harmonica. 


This is a project I wish I would have pursued….what a marriage in sound!


Has anyone done anything like this?
