Will Holshouser and Musette Explosion
Accordionist Will Holshouser's music casts a wide net, bringing up catchy folk-like melodies, pulsating rhythms, mesmerizing hymns,
abstract textures and rich harmonies. His trio with trumpeter Ron Horton and bassist Dave Phillips has been together since 1998.
Together they have developed a truly unique group sound, including both carefully crafted arrangements and improvisations of all kinds.
The trio has three CDs out on the Clean Feed label in Portugal and has toured in Europe several times.
"Holshouser and his superb band pronounce a seamless integration of Americana, jazz and European folk, among other facets
that uncannily fuse edgy improvisation with endearing soundscapes .The band swings, and elicits lucid imagery while using space
as a vantage point. Simply stated, Holshouser strikes a translucent balance the entertainment factor rides high throughout this gem of a release."
-- Glenn Astarita, jazzreview.com
"Holshouser successfully showcased the range and beauty of the accordion his compositions are intriguing, with wayward harmonies
and soft-spoken melodies that make the accordion's thin, reedy treble range sound sweet. This could be music for some fantastical Fellini film."
-- Anthony Tommasini, New York Times
