Time Records Series 2000 S/2172
Perhaps someone at Time felt there just was not enough accordion in the preceding Dominic Cortese solo LPs. All Accordion Band features Dom Cortese joined by Billy Costa, Bob Creash, and Angelo Di Pippo. Is it truly an all-accordion band? No. There also are guitar, bass, piano, celeste, drums, and other percussion. In addition to"Sabre Dance," "Tico Tico," and other standards, Creash and Cortese contribute "Bullfrog and the Grasshopper."Di Pippo wrote "Wrong Note Polka" and "Bajon"; all these are among the more successful compositions.
Curiously, the liners promise subsequent All Accordion Band recordings. [AllMusic]
