1. Breathless and Bewildered (2009) 1:51dedicated to Bulgarian accordion wizard, Ivan Milev.

Alex Meixner, accordion, trumpetBrandon Seabrook, tenor banjoMarcus Rojas, tubaKenny Wallesen, drums, percussion

2. Waltz for Sandy (2005) 2:48written for a collaboration with percussive dancer extraordinaire, Sandy Silva, during a Lucas Artists Residency, Montalvo Arts Center, CA.

Pete Donovan, bassJohn Hollenbeck, drums, xylophone

3. Gimme a Minute, Please (My Sequins Are Showing) (2008) 1:27dedicated to The Swingle Singerscommissioned by the Master Singers of Lexington, MA.

Jo Lawry, Theo Bleckmann, Peter Eldridge, vocalsPete Donovan, bassJohn Hollenbeck, drums

4. Larsong (2009) 5:08in memory of Lars Hollmer, a dear friend, and my Accordion Tribe colleague of 12 years.

5. Ratatatatouille (2009) 4:41dedicated to Basque trikitixa (accordion) master, Kepa Junkera.

Jo Lawry, Theo Bleckmann, Peter Eldridge, vocalsPete Donovan, bassJohn Hollenbeck, drums, percussion, xylophone

(6. - 8.) Three HymnopediesDedicated to Erik Satie.

6. Hymnopedie No. 1 (2010) 1:33Commissioned by choreographer Lionel Popkin. A title eluded me for weeks. I kept thinking, “it’s partly a song, partly a dance,” which eventually led me to “hymn” and “pedi” (foot). But, other than the title, this first piece has little to do with Satie’s “Three Gymnope-dies.”

Steve Elson, clarinet, saxophonesAlex Meixner, accordion, trumpetBrandon Seabrook, acoustic guitarMarcus Rojas, tubaKenny Wallesen, drums

7. Hymnopedie No. 2 (2011) 3:24Once I had one Hymnopedie, I felt I needed two more, and this one is probably closest to the sound and feel of the original Satie piano pieces.

Dave Douglas, trumpet

8. Hymnopedie No. 3 (2011) 3:23...is more of a program piece, though the program came after the music.

Satie was fond of inserting tongue-in-cheek expressions into his scores to mock the impres-sionists, my favorite being “open your head.” My score includes the following text insertions:

Monsieur S. samples the local goulash soup.Monsieur S. begins the beguine.Pardon, M’lle, I did not realize that was your foot.Perhaps a bit more goulash?as the sun rises, Monsieur S. heads home on foot....whereupon, lifted by a gentle gust of wind, Monsieur S. is carried off into the heavens.

9. Pink Elephant (1999) 5:59Title refers to an (in)famous accordion joke, about being lost in the desert...you can look it up.

11. Lädereld (Leather Camp Fire) (2000) 3:44by Lars Hollmer, arranged by Guy Klucevsek

The late Lars Hollmer dedicated this piece to “Guy Klucevsek, Accordion Rider” on his “Utsikter” album. Here I am returning the favor. After a rehearsal for the Brave Combo sessions in Denton, TX, Jeff Barnes took me to a jam session where I heard the amazing Ginny Mac live for the first time. I asked her to sit in with us on this one, and she graciously accepted.

12. The C&M Waltz (2009) 3:47Dedicated to my dear cousins, Charlie and Marian Bartosh, exquisitely beautiful waltzers. They go dancing to live Slovenian/American bands every weekend they can, and have done for the 50+ years of their marriage. I have written this piece in the style of the Slovenian/American waltzes I remember from my youth.

Alex Meixner, accordionBrave Combo:

Jeffrey Barnes, tenor saxophone, harmonicaCarl Finch, piano, organLittle Jack Melody, fretless bassAlan Emert, drums

ad. lib. accordion obbligatos: verse 1, Alex Meixner, verse 2, GK

13. Moja Baba Je Pijana (Variations) 4:45traditional; additional lyrics and arrangement by Guy Klucevsek

This is one of the first Slovenian/American polkas I learned as a kid. Alex Meixner told me that the title, which translates literally as “My Old Lady is Drunk” was considered too racy

for the 1950s, so they “softened” the English translation to “My Wife, She is Happy,” which is how it appeared on my sheet music. One of my favorite aspects of the Slovenian/Ameri-can polka tradition is the virtuoso obbligatos (counter-melodies) ad libbed by the accordion players. Alex Meixner does it with the best of them; here he is, off-to-the-races, right out of the gate!

My wife, she is drunkAnd I have to take her homeI have to take her home right away.When your wife she is sadYou should try to cheer her up,Try to cheer her up with a song.

Accordion solos in the “Latin, minor, slow” section: GK, Alex Meixner

Acknowledgments:

Thanks first and foremost to United States Artists for the 2010 Collins Fellowship. Simply put, without that award, this recording would not exist. Heartfelt thanks to Carl Finch. One could not ask for a more creative, instinctive, sympatico co-producer. Thanks to Brave Combo, for the enthusiasm and joy they bring to everything they touch. To John Kilgore, for his huge ears, searing intelligence, technical wizardry, and the good times. To Dave Willingham, for The Echo Lab experience: wonderful engineer, great-sounding room in a beautiful setting, and congenial atmosphere. To Silas Brown, for making the final mixes snap, crackle and pop. To Theo Bleckmann, for leading me to the amazing Jo Lawry and Peter Eldridge, can I ever thank you enough? To Jeff Barnes, for taking me to the jam session where I: 1) heard Ginny Mac live for the first time, and 2) learned that Jeff plays harmonica--surprise, surprise! To Philip Blackburn and Chris Campbell at innova for their support and enthusiasm for the project. To all the musicians--Jeffrey Barnes, Theo Bleckmann, Pete Donovan, Dave Douglas, Peter Eldridge, Steve Elson, Alan Emert, Carl Finch, John Hollenbeck, Jo Lawry, Alex Meixner, Ginny Mac, Little Jack Melody, Marcus Rojas, Brandon Seabrook, Kenny Wallesen--thank you for your beautiful contributions, you have made my heart sing!
