World Accordion Champ Can Play In ANY STYLE

[@metashrew]

This guy just makes you want to learn accordion. His energy is so infectious

[@GHRiz]

I'm not sure if I've ever smiled through a whole video more in my entire life. THIS is what music is all about!

[@oldbalreask]

OMG this is so much fun. Cory Pesaturo seems to be the Duracell Bunny of Accordion. I smiled so much looking at the fun you both were having. Your improvisations were fantastic Amy.

[@alenoirs]

Italian here! The song at 11:30 is called " 'na voce 'na chitara e o poco e luna" " 'na" is the neapolitan way to say "one", so the title is "ONE voice, ONE guitar and a little moon" anyway, thank you to let people know about italian popular music :D

[@Altarwood1684]

I met this guy at an accordion convention in Leavenworth when I was 17 or 18. I was in awe because I watched his videos when I was 11 or 12 and just barely getting interested in the accordion so getting to meet him was amazing

[@bobbystrickland2572]

Aimee, my husband Don LOVED the accordion. I could feel him watching this with me from the other side. I actually have an accordion but I sound like a clogged up vacuum cleaner. This video made me smile and even tear up a little. I actually mentioned you last week to a friend and I described you as the absolute nicest person I have ever met. Thanks for this delightful video. Love to your family.

[@AimeeNolte]

So sweet. I’m thinking of you and your Don this wknd. Much love.

[@johnrobin8]

I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud in delight at the music you both were creating and how much fun you both were having while doing it! I watched this twice on Nebula when it dropped yesterday and now watching again here. Thanks SO much Aimee for pulling this together! 🎶❣️

[@AimeeNolte]

You rock! Thank you!!

[@daltongrowley5280]

This dude is a legend, I laughed my way through the video, I doubt I've had that much fun listening to music in a long time.

[@georgemixis2172]

Cory Pesaturo's musical vibe reminds me of Jerry Murad & the Harmonicats. The guy's a one-man show! Thank you for putting this video out, Aimee!

[@MaxOstro]

Absolutely amazing

[@davidwhite9192]

That was super fun to watch! he is amazing! and so fun that you can figure out how to play with him somehow. Love it.

[@The8BitPianist]

He is like four amazing musicians in one. Completely unbelievable!

[@seaspeck]

Aimee and Nahre, my (unaware) best friends on KZbin united by this giant of accordion is the best surprise I could ask for!

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

Magnificent and frightening I realised I know nothing Thanks Amy 😢 That shoo whop jazz vocal bebop scat autumn leaves thing was so easy for him .... Dear lord!! Incredible

[@timpullen4941]

My mind is blown.

[@lonzfzz2323]

That was cool Aimee.

[@mirkochicco9620]

Na Voce, na Chitarra e o ppoco e luna. One Voice , one Guitar and a little bit of Moon. Amazing.

[@etowahjazz]

Amazing. I have this silly grin on my face!!

[@s.j.5553]

His energy is amazing! I just realize that this is the "one trick to turn chopin into jazz" guy🤣

[@lugeroaccordion9957]

Wow,what an ear he has. Incredible.🪗🪗🪗🪗🪗🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@3steln766]

Fuck yeah! I'm from RI, and I can't believe the accordion world champ is from my home state. Represent

[@CPez]

Little Rhody!! I’ll be on Gene Valecenti next Friday, tune in at 8am!

[@stuartdarling1620]

This is fantastic

[@persiansilkpavilion]

😂 most fun "inbetween Christmas and New Year" musical distraction I have ever seen and heard! 🎉🎉😊

[@robbes7rh448]

The Les Paul and Mary Ford of the accordian and keyboard! The accordian really is such a great instrument. It even lends itself to middle eastern styles. This guy's playing really is amazing. I love it. As Nahre pointed out there's so much there we keyboardists can use to liven up our playing and strengthen our phrasing.

[@dessiplaer]

This is really cool!

[@aagguujjaa]

This is so great!

[@andy25piano]

Wow! That´s a hell of an accordion player. It makes me wanna buy that accordion. I wonder how many $$ it costs. Anyway, I got hugely contagious vibes from Cory.

[@MattLuceen]

What a beast! 😮 I want an instrument like that!

[@Urban3009]

That's a Roland FR-7X. There's the updated version, FR-8X, but of course more expensive.

[@HenritheHorse]

Amazing is all I can say!

[@RonaldGeorge-fw6sx]

I'm an accordion player - well, I thought I was. Cory is a smile merchant - so much fun - and a phenomenal musician.

[@williampaganucci1084]

That was a joy to watch Aimee. And Cory Pesaturo sounds like a nice Italian name. I play a little piano too. 🎹 🌊 🏄‍♂ 👍

[@CPez]

I’m Very Italian 😂. Play Italian Festivals across the country.

[@williampaganucci1084]

@@CPez I admire your skills Cory. I just subscribed to you. I'm just a self taught beginner piano player but you might find a few of my videos interesting? Some with family, variety of locations etc. Thanks 🎹

[@AlanBassaddict1956]

Aimee...this was the most musical encounter I've ever heard...love from Brasil...

[@canonwright8397]

Thank you for this. I've been trying to get Rick Beato to recognize the great accordion players for years. =].

[@JC050980]

What an absolute hero this guy is!

[@misterfred0528]

Welcome to the Aimee Nolte Variety Show!! This was like watching a guy spinning plates on a stick and trying to not let any plates break!! this was exhausting but I couldn’t stop watching 😂

[@marc-io]

He sounds like an entire band and much more and so effortlessly 😳

[@PhillipCappetto]

Fun! Thanks for posting! 😁

[@jennyomalley7634]

Lovely Aimee

[@davidbridenstine6358]

Big $$$ to be made here on the street in Venice, IT! Love it.

[@sebastianbrett7544]

Mindblowing!

[@MarkFromHawaii]

What fun! When he swings, this guy is like the Joey DeFrancesco of the accordion.

[@christondre]

I saw him sit in at the spud about 10 years ago. Amazing!

[@CPez]

Wait…. Where’s the “Spud”?

[@christondre]

@@CPez The Baked Potato in LA. I'm originally from RI too and almost everyone in my family played accordion but not like you man! Totally blew my mind, I'll never forget it.

[@ChristianGastl]

03:03 was AMAZING !!! 😂😂😂

[@matthewwhitaker4849]

Wow!!! Love it!!! what's the model of the accordion he's playing?

[@foljs5858]

this was fun

[@JOHNSONWIELKI]

That Eastern European stuff was so fun haha ❤ amazing skills ❤

[@Keith-zc2nn]

Your favorite tune sounds like you're playing for "Take 6" in that setting.

[@Simon-ui6db]

Really need to upgrade my FR7 to an FR7x or FR8x. Or even the new Korg Fisa digital accordion thats been released recently. Love this.

[@han36solo]

That was amazing!

[@JazzyPets37]

Marvellous !

[@kruszielski]

This guy is a genius!

[@oselini]

So beautiful! Aimee have you tried to play the accordion?

[@holliesheet3182]

Always enjoy innovative talents with instrument rigging! 😎JAM!

[@soulscape5083]

What an energy!!! He is unstoppable 😂

[@StevesBeyondRepair]

WOW!!!!! Sooo GOOD!!

[@terryholder4667]

FORGOT TO TELL YOU I AM A FEMALE PROFESSIONAL ACCORDIONIST. MY SON IS ACCOMPLISHED GUITARIST AND DRUMMER. FROM THERESA REALO HOLDER FROM BETHLEHEM PA. GREAT VIDEO. 😊❤

[@stephenc8956]

A real joy to watch and listen. Makes me sick how good you both are😂😂❤

[@andrewkorbel9883]

Don’t sell your audience short.. sometimes a virtuoso demonstration is the best kind of lesson… that was fun, and flew by.

[@MrKeys57]

TOTALLY AWESOME!!

[@martinroeeidhammer9108]

Heck, I was getting some Myron Floren vidbs there and checking Wikipedia it turns out Cory Pesaturo got his start filling in for an ill Myron Floren at the former Warwick Music Theater in Rhode Island at age 11. That's just great!

[@not_batman_916]

I want to learn accordion now!

[@knudsandbknielsen7226]

Cory Pesaturo also has a very nice and interesting vocal, apparently! Love the video. Too short :-D

[@terryholder4667]

HOPE CORY HAS BEEN ABLE TO READ MY 2 OTHER COMMENTS. I LOVE HIS VIDEOS AND GREATEST ACCORDIONIST.

[@jeffreybedrosian4935]

Very humbling this. I used to tell my rocker guitar buddies that Myron Floren played triplets faster than Van Halen.

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Ha ha wow! Incredible!

[@Dekku]

"'Na voce, 'na chitarra e 'o poco 'e luna" it's Neapolitan for "a voice, a guitar and a bit of moon"

[@CPez]

Dekku is Correct!!

[@mdp303]

Awesome😂😂

[@boboscurse4130]

If he taught a course on that left hand, I would gladly pay for it.

[@bensomeone]

how the hell can he do that what

[@andrejgregoric1324]

omg! great

[@tedturner03]

That was amazing. Thanks Aims

[@Power-9Hunnid]

Looks I found another Cory who has fast hands on the keys.

[@CPez]

Henry the other?

[@scottrogers2831]

Now I want an SV2!

[@duanespooner6649]

Bring back the accordion.

[@boboscurse4130]

What brand accordion is that? I have a Roland.

[@lxxwj]

the voices at 15:00 caught me off guard lmao

[@jonasaras]

Cory should hook up with someone like Scott Kinsey, James Francies or George Whitty and program some modern sounds to take it to the next level. Playing a regular accordion also sounds great.

[@Keith-zc2nn]

This reminds me of Bill Evans knew a bandleader that knew either hundreds or thousands of polkas..

[@useridxvbnbtg]

That wasn’t “Eastern European” style, that was Eastern European Romani style he was playing. Romani people are the masters of accordions 🪗 great video as usual.

[@tzm1843]

Why does his accordion sound like an electronic synthesizer? Never heard an accordion sound like a drum kit!

[@ianfiddes9871]

Check out the Roland fr 8x and similar units I have the 8x

[@bmwheeler1atverizon]

Fantastic!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@michaeldavedizon]

Aimee, is that a Korg SV-2 you're playing?!

[@AimeeNolte]

SV-1. I love it

[@michaeldavedizon]

Sweet heavens!!! I'm saving up for at least the SV273s@@AimeeNolte :)

[@same0077]

Ever heard of Paul Stanga?

[@JDkeyzz]

Sweeeeet !

[@iretan5000]

14:10 Does anyone know this master song, please?

[@joetheplumber2970]

I don't mean to gang up on my boy Cory here; he's a genius. However, he got the translation wrong.the tittle of the song is " 'Na voce, 'na chitarra e 'o poco 'e luna"... So, the correct translation is... "A voice, a guitar, and a little bit of moonlight". (is all one needs) pass it on to him i thing he would appreciate it. 🙃

[@thomascordery7951]

Hilarious fun! Does the bellows do much of anything on that accordion, or is more it a way for a keyboardist to play right hand only while replacing a P bass with the left? Okay, I see it now. Bellows can drive it, and it has drum pads too.

[@CPez]

Absolutely. The original 1950’s / 60’s / 70’s electric accordion were using bellows was Only fit the accordion reeds. This is totally reedless, and everything is effected by the bellows. Amplifying why the accordion is the Greatest instrument haha

[@davidgaughran5450]

There's a saying where I come from: "A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the accordion, but doesn't." Bit unfair, but funny.

[@terryholder4667]

THE NEW DICK CONTINO. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE 11 YEARS OLD AND IM NOW 83. WHEN YOU PLAY I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOU. YOU DONT NEED ANOTHER INSTRUMENT. YOU ARE A SYMPHONY AND GENIUS. YOU HAVE TO COME TO MYSICFEST IN BETHLEHEM PA OR ANYWHERE HERE IN LEHIGH VALLEY AREA. LOTS OF ITALIANS HERE. MY WISH IS TO GET A CHANCE TO PLAY A MEDLEY OF ITALIAN SONGS WITH YOU. FULL ITALIAN BORN AND RAISED IN ROSETTO PA. YOU ARE THE "GOAT" GREATEST OF ALL ACCORDIONISTS. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON IN PERSON.

[@AimeeNolte]

I’ll make sure he sees these

[@CPez]

Oh my god! The New Dick Contino is steele the Best Compliment one can give. ❤. I for Sure would love to come to your area abs play for you guys!!

[@p0indexter624]

um wow ?

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Save the electronic organs 1929-1992!

[@Hitsko]

15:00

[@johndavidkromkowski816]

Dug it. But I'm also a long time fan of Brave Combo (since 80s).

[@simonderaad9881]

This is mainly a show of his technical knowledge. I would prefer to hear nice music.

[@thegreekmethod8386]

Did he pay you to write “world champ accordionist” in the title? 😂

[@artisa72]

horreur !!! ce n'est pas du tout un son d'accordéon, juste un son électronique typique amerloock !!!

[@markrossow6303]

a |-| wesome

[@janosik150]

Too many notes...Piano has wrong tone

[@AimeeNolte]

Those are two very strong opinions. I’ll agree with the second one. In hindsight I wish I would have tried a normal piano sound

[@janosik150]

Maybe different tone would blend in better and it would not sound like too many notes.. to me btw.@@AimeeNolte

[@CPez]

You would Hate most of my playing if you think That was too many notes haha. like I say in the video, I prefer to play 1,000,000 miles an hour, or a slow balance, the medium stuff does not interest me that much.

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

My grandfather once told me he really wished he had learned to play the accordion when he was young because if you played you got invited to all the parties... 🥹
