Details:
This is an album of what I call, "Accordion Classics". It represents the style of accordion playing that made it so popular in the early to mid 1900's.

This album is dedicated to my teacher, Mr. Charles Nunzio, who was a principal student of Pietro Frosini, and is known in his own right as a great performer and instructor of the accordion. His musical genius is evident in his compositions and arrangements, some of which appear on this CD. Mr. Nunzioâs assistance in the execution of these musical selections was immeasurable.


"In my many years as a musician Iâve heard countless accordionists. Most of these players were quite technically proficient. Many of these artists were primarily concerned with âplaying the pieceâ.
Zevy Zions âplays the pieceâ and has amazing technique. What sets him apart and above most accordionists is his musicianship. He interprets the music; is subtle and gets to the essence of the selection.
The repertoire of this CD runs the gamut from light pieces such as âCoquetteâ and âOlive Blossomsâ to the substantial âVivoâ which was written by the illustrious accordionist-arranger John Gart. Zionsâ âKlezmer Suiteâ evokes all kinds of images and emotions. Itâs magnificent.
This CD exposes an essential selection of Accordion music, played by a great artist."
