- Tony Lovello 1932-2017 is known as the "Liberace of the Accordion". He is famous for his bellows shake, razzle-dazzle rapid runs & glissandos. The National Accordion Association called him "the entertainer's entertainer". After a 20 year break from entertaining, Tony is just coming out of retirement at around 1998. For the next almost 20 years he has performed, taught, wrote music & recorded over 20 albums.
My son and I were privileged & honored to meet this giant of a talent, & were asked to record his 2 energetic concerts that weekend in 2000. I created a DVD & here it is for all to enjoy. The highlight of the DVD is Malaguena, Lecuona (16:15) where he shakes the hell out of his Petosa accordion. - เพลง
What a great artist ... SUPERB!!! What a great loss ... God Bless Tony!
Tony was my accordion teacher from about 1965 to 1968 in Canoga Park, CA. I was in his #1 class with four others whose names I still remember, Roy Tikka, Ronald McDonald (I kid you not), Sandy Corr and Billy Griffith. Tony was very lively and encouraging. He was unique in that he encouraged us to come up with our own arrangements. Maybe it's because I'm left handed but I came up with a rhythmic patterrn on the left hand that he really liked-and used. My parents went to see him play with a drummer he worked with named Mike at a club he played at out on Ventura Blvd. One day he was just gone. He went through a divorce and up and moved to Kentucky without any warning. Years later my mom tracked him down and wrote him a letter. She told him that I went on to play piano and other keyboards and had become keyboard player and music director of the Air Force rock band at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. I credit Tony with giving me a love of music, the dedication to practice and to always have a good feel for what you play. I hear so many musicians play like they're typing a letter instead of "feeling something." I wish I'd had a chance to connect with him but...he left when I was just about 14 and we moved to Las Vegas two years later. By the way, I was really good at doing the bellows shake and the "triple shake." Tony was impressed! lol. God rest His soul...

He was indeed the showman. Did things with that instrument that nobody else did. I cherish the times I heard him play before we lost him.

He could knock u out😊
I think you need to be american, if not very, very american to deem this guy a great accordionist. Racket and slapstick with accordion.
He had old American dude showmanship that I could see grating on many, but his playing was undeniably amazing.
@@DoeSparkle No doubt: It's amazing. What I just wanted to express is that Tony Lovello might be a great showman, but for sure he is not a great accordionist. As well, "Liberace of the accordion" does not fit anyway.
@@Lasca34 - Can you name me 20 better accordionists?
@@Izakokomarixyz Yes, of course. Anyone who is familiar with accordion artists of the last 20 years can do this.
@@Lasca34 - Which country has the best?
Play like accordion rite
he could beat anyone in arm wrestling
Troppe chiacchiere
Saw him in concert in San Francisco around the same time this video was made. He would have been popular in the Vaudeville era when his type of showmanship was king. But musical dynamics, interpretation, and clean playing are missing.
Oh my God u got me thinking on clean
U ears are grrat

This playing is ok...
Sorry too cheezy, not necessary I played accordion 63 years your taking all the soul out of every song your playing. Just go and run like your playing ridiculous
He plays great, but overall it is also tiring. He likes the fast sobgs, but he should change it with the very romantic ones too. Uf you are in his shiws it will tire you out a little. But yes, he plays very very good.
