Katzenjammer

[Daveg4otu]

Nice music , easy on both the ear and the eye....and very versatile...watch the lady with the accordion , harmonica and glockenspiel(?) in the first video

Glad you reposted these ... they were aboard the SS AccordionForum and went down with a lot of other stuff,good post..........where's Sarah btw ?


Pippa posted primarily the Katzenjammer I am sure but Sarah also posted a load of good links to esoteric Accordion Vids......

No - it was me that posted them over there as well....I think they get 10 out of 10 for versatility....and about 15 out of 10 for looks!

Here is another longer video with the accordion......

Am I right, they seem to trade instruments around a lot? And did it seem to anyone else the accordion is no ones favorite? The notable instrument there is that contrabass balalaika. As far as I know they have no practical virtues to recommend them, and awfully impractical to tour with, but looks kind of spectacular.

Some instrumental virtuosity, from Russian Bis-Quit Orchestra playing an American jazz tune in a Brazilian influenced style on Russian traditional instruments. (Plus accordion, saxophone, drum set.)

Donn, I believe that they play 16 instruments between them.Those I have remember seeing are Drums,. guitar, Balalaika, Bass Balalaika,Accordion, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, piano/keyboard, glockenspiel(or whatever it is), trumpet (or cornet?),harmonica/mouth organ.
