Nick Ariondo composed his "Musette a la Russe" in 1990, dedicated to friend Parviz Nassiri, in homage to the great French Musette accordionists of the early 1920s and 30s -- a new form of dance music that attracted the working class in nightclubs throughout France. The accordionists who performed this music were highly skilled craftsman with specialized technique and fast finger action -- energetic, fleeting melodies and rhythms that included various dance styles [Valse Musette, Paso-Doble, Java, Polka Musette, and more]. Musette accordion usually refers to a specific type of tuning where two unison reeds are tuned slightly apart creating a vibration/chorus-like effect. This vibrant sound and character typically defines the music of Paris a la Francaise. http://www.NickAriondo.com
