BIG SQUEEZE Down but never out, the lowly accordion is staging a comeback; Get all pumped up on some choice accordion albums Here is a list of favorite accordion albums by avant-accordionist Guy Klucevsek. His comments are in italics. Francisco Ulloa, "!UltraMerengue!" (1993, Green Linnet). Dominican merengue accordionist. "He plays so fast it takes my breath away." Evan Harlan, "Excelsior Declassified" (1996, MarkSetGo). "Harlan, an alumnus of the Klezmer Conservatory Orchestra, does what he calls `declassified' versions of the Shostakovich Piano Preludes, among other things." Ivo Papasov, "Balkanology" (1991, Hannibal). Balkan accordion folk music. "Shows that a tradition can be expanded without destroying its foundations." Or pick up anything by: Maria Kalaniemi: "She comes out of the Finnish folk music scene but can cover many different styles, always with passion, intelligence and impeccable musicianship." Lars Hollmer: "an autodidactic multi-instrumentalist who composes very personal, quirky, complex pieces." Astor Piazzolla: the late Argentinian bandoneon player who "single-handedly brought the tango into the modern era, reinvigorating it with jazz harmonies and classical counterpoint." Attwenger: "an Austrian duo of accordion vocals and drums who do their own warped take on Bavarian folk music, including rap elements and punk tempos." Steve Jordan: "arguably the finest diatonic accordion player in the world, a virtuoso technician and innovator who has wedded Tex-Mex music with pop and jazz." The second group of musicians are featured on the three-CD compilation, "Planet Squeezebox."; More keys to accordion appreciation COMING LOCAL PERFORMANCES New York accordionist Guy Klucevsek and Milwaukee's Present Music ensemble will play "Polkas from the Fringe" at 8 p.m. Saturday in the East Gallery of the Milwaukee Art Museum, 750 N.
