This 101 track, 4 CD survey reveals the importance of the contribution the accordion made to the history of jazz. Distinguished jazz artists such as George Shearing, Harry James and Bennie Moten either played or included an accordion player in their orchestras.

This collection is packed with fifty recordings from the greatest interpreters of the american popular song, often in the intimate settings that served those interpreters best. While some of these recordings come from the big-band era, and some are instrumentals, many represent the adult-pop developments of swing vocal styles that appeared in the 1950's and sometimes competed with - and at other times overlapped with the teenage sounds of rock and roll.
Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington and many others.
