Debut Solo CD von Eddie Hessison, London - Großbritannien
Contributed by Rob Howard

Die erste Solo CD „Under Duress“ von Akkordeonist Eddie Hessison kreuzt klassische Jazzteile mit Arrangements von zwei Jazzgrößen, Chick Corea und Bill Evans. Für ihn wurden verschiedene Arbeiten geschrieben: vom britischen zeitgenössischen Komponist David Gordon – “Eddi-Fis Suite”, von Adam Summerhayes – “Under Duress Suite” und „Inveirno Portenoa“, eine Komposition vom Tangomeister Astor Piazzolla.

Eine Kritik lautet: Die CD nimmt den Zuhörer auf eine wirkliche Entdeckungsreise mit, indem sie die Talente dieses wundervollen gefühlvollen Spielers völlig ausbeutet.

Eddie Hessisons, der den zweiten Platz beim Coupe Mondiale 1981 machte, ist einer der führenden Akkordeonisten in Großbritannien. Er tritt mit dem Quintett ZUM auf, wenn er nicht als Solist oder als Musiker in Aufnahmestudios performt, auf. Er spielte auf vielen Hollywoodfilm Soundtracks, einschließlich „Captain Corelli`s Mandolin“, „Evita“, „Shrek“ und „Herr der Ringe“ und er spielte auf Alben verschiedener Künstler, einschließlich Lesley Garret, The Corrs und Ronan Keating.

‘Champagne Lady’ Performs Two Concerts Within One Hour, Illinois – USA
Contributed by Rob Howard

Maria Merkelo, known as the accordion's ‘Champagne Lady’ at the University of Illinois, performed in two concerts within an hour in two theaters in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Urbana, on November 16th.

First, there was the 10th Annual Salvatore Martirano Award Concert in the Tryon Festival Theatre. Maria performed her part with the UI New Music Ensemble, conducted by Stephen Taylor, in a demanding piece scored for ten instruments titled ‘Dolmen for a New Albion’, by Nicholas Paul Vines.

Immediately following the performance of the Vines' work, Maria made her way to the Follinger Great Hall next door for a costume change and to prepare for her performance as the only instrumental soloist on that evening's program by the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Steven Larsen. The work was Dominick Argento's ‘Valentino Dances’, a popular Suite from his 1994 opera, ‘The Dream of Valentino’. Maria Merkelo brought to this performance the evocative sensuality that characterizes the tango.
