pauline de snoo Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I found that there is a cd available on which Pietro Valente plays jazz on the concertina. Titles a.o. Stompin'at the Savpy, Tea for two, What a wonderful world etc. Avaliable directly from his daughter email: info@josef.pfleghar.de Price 20 Euros including p & p . Bank: Hypo Vereinsbank München Acc. 1990149603 BLZ 70020270. Pietro Valente (1925) plays the concertina since he was 8 years old and he learned it from his mother Maria Valente. She played lots of instruments and in the 1930's toured also in the US. Pietro has been performing on stage with different acts since he was 5 years old.

JimLucas Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I first met Pietro a few years ago at the Bielefeld concertina weekend, and I got a copy of the CD shortly after it was "pressed". I recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 A pupil of Pietro's is on the road in Europe somewhere. This is a link to his website http://www.concertinoontheroad.de/ and if you ever see him around say hi! He's a lovely guy! Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 His name is Erwin Pruss, and he usually has a copy or two of the Pietro Valente CD about his person. I bought my copy from him. It's a good listen and I can heartily recommend it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
