Performed and produced by Zevy Zions. Liberties were taken in the performances of some Frosini works based on the studies of various recordings of the composer (both studio and live). I would like to dedicate this album to my teacher, Mr. Charles Nunzio, who was a principal student of Pietro Frosini, and is known in his own right as a great performer and instructor of the accordion. His musical genius is evident in his compositions and arrangements, some of which appear on this CD. Mr. Nunzio's assistance in the execution of these musical selections was immeasurable. Thanks to accordion specialists: Veikko Ahvenainen, Al Baccili, John Castiglione, Stanley Darrow & Joanna Arnold Darrow, Henry Doktorski, Lars Ek of the International Frosini Society, Nicolae Helerea, Eddie Monteiro, Bob Smith, and Ralph Stricker. Special thanks to: Eli Cohen, Angelo DiPippo, Nick Gordon, Chaim Halbfinger, Abe Jaffe, Nochi Krohn, Charles M. Nunzio, Shmiel Ramras, Andy Statman, Greg Wall, and Michael Sojcher & Elly Zomick of Neshoma Orchestras. Super-special thanks to my dear mother, Mrs. Riva Zions, for encouraging me to learn to play the accordion; to my sister, Tova Well, for her help with these lines (and teaching me all I know); and of course, to my wife, Malka, for allowing me to put in the time to practice this music! You can select any or all tracks (downloadable mp3 files) for just 99 cents each.
