Jazz accordion in the media?

brandoneon

Just curious how people out there get their news regarding (gypsy) jazz accordion. I've had the most luck with websites, magazines and books in French. There doesn't seem to be too much out there for strict Anglophones!

My favorites (in French, sorry) have been:
- a website dedicated to Jo Privat, http://swingjo.apinc.org/home.php
- a special issue of Jazzman magazine dedicated to jazz accordion (April 2005; sometimes can be found on ebay)
- "Histoires de l'accordeon", a mammoth book by Francois Billard covering the history of the accordion around the world.
I've seen ads for a French magazine called 'Accordeons et Accordeonistes' but have never been able to find it.

Any other good sources people have found?
