Press Reviews Excellent technique, confident style. Drawing on European and South American music, the duo Accordéon Mélancolique offers a disc that lives up to their name. The emphasis is on melody in both cover and original tunes for accordion, and the style is strongly European/Gypsy/jazz rooted. Their technique is excellent, their style confident. It's a worthy exploration of new music for this often underrated instrument. Kerry Dexter, DIRTY LINEN (Magazine of folk and world music).

I must admit that I have never heard such a touching accordion recording. It's great! Arthur McGregor OTTAWA FOLKLORE CENTRE, Canada---------------Less is more and this is so much more.. J-P and Cherie achieve their musical intimacy with less notes, less effort and less technical flair. But sometimes less is more and this is so much more. They let the melodies and their phrasing do the selling of the music. The result is a sense of being drawin into this CD as the aromas waft into your consciousness.
