Accordions Rising offers entertaining, conversational style interviews, anecdotal commentary and both formal and informal music performances from celebrated accordionists, composers and bands working in America today. These musicians make up the colorful and thoughtful cast of characters who drive the story by tracing their uniquely personal attractions to the instrument and sharing their surprisingly divergent paths: from immigrant roots, Creole or Roma beginnings, for example, to a recognition of the very special niche this so-called 'low art' form provides for inspirations in jazz, classical, new music, pop, fusion forms, operatic styles and beyond. The film provides a tapestry of fascinating individuals, their attitudes, deep passions, and above of all else, profound dedication to the instrument. We learn that though still a rebellious lot, these music makers have an audience in some of the hippest hide-a-ways and most sought after mainstream venues. The film makes clear that the so-called 'accordion world' is actually a curious continuum that includes everything from whacky and kitsch to sophisticated, serious, meditative and post modern. As Dr. William Schimmel points out, 'the accordion is the icon of the 21st century.'

“My guitarist wants to know if I took my medication today,” quips the 54-year-old singer between songs. Dressed in purple, R&B legend Alexander O'Neal stands on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo looking better than ever. Neither his enveloping voice nor his roguish looks seem to have aged. "He finds me a little crazy tonight," he says. Hard not to agree with his colleague: in front of the audience of the London theater, O'Neal is simply unhinged. With remarkable energy, he plays the titles that propelled him to the rank of darling of the 80s: he becomes a languid lover again with "If You Were Here Tonight," slips into the skin of the repentant Don Juan of "A Broken Heart Can Mend,” and dons his costume of a transitory lover with “What Is This Thing Called Love.” Tireless, the singer does not allow himself a break, not even between the titles, where he multiplies the strokes of humor and the glances at the public. This live show from 2007 recalls everything that makes the singer so charming. It's up to you to decide if you will fall for his velvety voice, his mischievous attitude, and his slightly roguish air.
