Thanks to Michael and others there's an abundance of starting material for gypsy jazz guitar (I for one am trying to work my way through a stack of books and videos). However, for the Accordion - particularly in this style - it seems like a solo adventure (don't get me wrong, there is something fun about that). Transcribing solos from recordings is probably the most important way to learn anyways, but is anyone aware of other resources to supplement that - books, videos, etc.? Also, I'm interested in earlier accordion in this genre as well as Musette predecessors, etc. Any recommendations on recordings would be great!
Thanks,
Mark

Good hunting,
Jack.
As for actually *playing* a chromatic accordion, though... You're on your own, mon ami.
Cheers,
