Guy Klucevsek & Ain't Nothin' But A Polka Band – ? Who Stole The Polka ? (1995)

Posted By: boogie-de

Date: 5 Dec 2013 09:21:13

Review by Brian Olewnick from Allmusic:
?Who Stole the Polka? is the second volume of pieces that accordionist Guy Klucevsek commissioned from composers ranging widely over the contemporary new music scene in the mid-'80s. For pure wicked fun, it probably exceeds its companion, Polka Dots and Laser Beams, and contains several absolute classics of the admittedly obscure genre. "The VCR Polka" by singer/composer David Garland is utterly hilarious and bewitchingly catchy, with lines like, "On my VCR/Black and white looks so seductive/Like the time that Barbara Stanwyck tempted Water Neff/To sin." Fred Frith, allowing that he had little idea of what a polka actually was, contributes the deliciously awkward "Disinformation Polka," full of stop-starts and hesitant shouts of "Hey!" There's even an example of that rare breed, the hardcore punk polka, propelled frenziedly by Elliott Sharp. One of the loveliest things about the album is that after all the riotous free-for-alls and madcap antics, it ends with a gorgeous song credited to "A. Leroy" (a nom de musique of Dick Connette, later to lead the band Last Forever) called "Wild Goose." With lyrics out of the fantasy Americana that produced folk songs like "Old Dan Tucker," it culminates in the beautiful, serene image of a goose winging out over the water and brings the disc to an immensely satisfying close. Issued in Japan on the now defunct Eva label and not reissued as of 2001, these two releases are difficult to come by but well worth the cost if found.

Biography by Joslyn Layne from Allmusic:
Accomplished accordionist and composer Guy Klucevsek has stunned audiences around the world with his mastery of the unwieldy instrument in jazz- and world-influenced avant-garde concerts. Included on compilations from Tzadik's Burt Bacharach tribute, to the more mainstream Ellipsis Arts release Planet Squeezebox, Klucevsek has also led nearly ten of his own recordings for labels including Ewa and CRI. He has composed extensively for modern dance, and was awarded a BESSIE in 1995 for the score for "Hey" by choreographer David Dormanis. Since at least the mid-'80s, Klucevsek has performed and recorded with a variety of creative musicians such as John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Anthony Braxton, and Kronos Quartet. In 1996, he co-founded Accordion Tribe with master accordionists from around the world including Maria Kalaniemi (Finland) and Bratko Bibic (Slovenia). In 1998, Accordion Tribe came out on Intuition, and Winter & Winter released an album by another new group with Klucevsek, Dave Douglas' new project Charms of the Night Sky, with Klucevsek, bassist Greg Cohen, and violinist Mark Feldman. While Accordion Tribe could only get together for the rare festival appearance, the Charms of the Night Sky group toured North America and Europe for parts of the next three years, and recorded A Thousand Evenings for RCA. Klucevsek has also performed solo at festivals all over the world, and can be heard providing music accompaniment on the audio book version of Accordion Crimes, a novel by E. Annie Proulx.
