Frank Marocco

Perhaps the most recorded accordionist, Frank Marocco was the first name among contemporary jazz accordionists. A native of Chicagoland, Frank studied with George Stefani. Eventually settling on the west coast, Frank firmly became entrenched in studio work, recording literally thousands of sessions and working in every field imaginable. His ability with the Stradella bass system is unrivaled in the world. His knowledge is such that he has broken beyond the established molds and has taken the accordion to new heights, by traveling the world performing concerts.

Equally comfortable in either an ensemble or solo setting, Frank created moods that are simply breathtaking. To top it off, he was also an incredibly fine gentleman and his love for the accordion made him the premiere ambassador in the world.
