I was not familiar yet with Stefano Prestileo's phenomenal collection of accordions.
Here Antonello Messina plays jazz standards on eight of Stefano's accordions.
He picked some great accordions and plays beautifully 😁
All recorded with the same equipment, so it turns out to be a great way to compare the tonal qualities of the instruments :)

I don't think the recordings are on youtube or spotify but one can listen to them on his website promptly:

One can also find the pictures of each of the eight accordions, and specs/info for each, right there.
