Topics: accordion, free improvisation, duets, duos, experimental, Linear Obsessional, Mike Adcock

Here at Linear Obsessional you may have noted we have a fondness for squeezeboxes and free improvisation, which is why we jumped at the chance to release an album by the amazing British accordionist Mike Adcock (once of Accordions Go Crazy amongst others). "Accord" is a collection of improvised duets with a series of musicians - and is wonderful showcase for Mike's sensitivity as an improviser and his wonderful musicality as a accordionist.

Each track features Mike Adcock on piano accordion along with the named musician.
