Played by Henri Crolla?

I honestly have no idea!

Cool find ... C'est si bon sung by Yves Montand. That is indeed Henri Crolla, who played in Montand's group. And it appears to be Marcel Azzola on accordion.

Here's Azzola with Brel:

Brandon (or anyone else),

Do you have any idea who's playing accordion in this one?



Is it Azzola or Corti? Or someone else entirely?

brandoneon

Great find! I didn't know that song before.

I'm almost positive it's Jean Corti ... it's hard to tell by his face but he is playing a Crosio accordion, and Azzola always plays Cavagnolo.

Here's a video with Christian Olivier that begins with old Brel/Corti footage:



When Brel introduces the band, he also says that Philippe Combelle is on drums; he's the same drummer on Corti's Couka album!
