The austere setting allows Holzhauser to really showcase the sound of his instrument and its versatility. In the hymn-like track that we just heard, it can be solemn and pensive, but it can also be boisterous and joyful. The setting also allows us to hear the inner workings of his instrument. Underneath the accordion sound are grunts and huffs from the air that gets pumped inside of it.

Holzhauser grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He is the son of two ministers, so hymns were an early part of his musical diet. He was studying jazz piano and turned to accordion when a college pal gave him one as a gift. He was fascinated by the mechanics of the instrument and its versatility. It was a cornerstone in folk music from New Orleans to Madagascar.

And Holzhauser, who was 56, was finding his way through his instrument's range. at a time when exotic music was rapidly becoming more accessible via the recording boom of the 80s and 90s and the rise of the Internet shortly thereafter. It is this variety of music that is reflected on Lone Wild Bird.

Holzhauser's original Three Glasses is a minor key and intimate tribute to composer Dmitri Shastakovich. Holshouser's jazz roots are a prominent part of the program. Blue Waters reflects his interest in Counterpoint, and it has a bluesy feel. It's a tribute to jazz organ great Jimmy Smith.
