Leon Sash - Misty
Παγκόσμια μέρα της Τζαζ σήμερα και σας αφιερώνω αυτό το κομμάτι απο έναν σπουδαίο ακορντεονίστα, ίσως τον καλύτερο ακορντεονίστα της τζαζ μουσικής.
Leon Sash (1922 - 1979. Blind at the age of 8 yrs., he became a legend in his own time being the first jazz accordionist to appear at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1957. He garnered national and world recognition in the jazz world during the latter 50's and 60's for creativity despite the fact that his instrument was the accordion. Recordings of his performances are very rare. While jazz accordion has never been too common, Leon Sash created a bit of a stir when he appeared at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival but had no other opportunities to record until a decade later.
