“The Jolly Caballero“ (Frosini) - multitrack accordion recording by the great Charles Magnante

For the Frosini lovers out there (which includes me), here’s the most exciting arrangement on this piece you’ll ever hear. He puts on a clinic for the accordionist who ventures into the realm of musical variations. Charles displays his enormous musical imagination with the use of a very busy second treble accompaniment using a most exquisite exhibition of diatonic as well as chromatic parallel thirds. Of course, he doesn’t disappoint us & puts in a great bellows shake to cap it all off. His timing with the extra track is perfect. I tried double track recording only once & it the result sounded like a “bull in a china shop.“
