Ludovic Beier will present an International Musical Program. In addition, CD’s will be available. The entire Roland V-Accordion line will be on display including the NEW FR-7x. Accessories, Roland Amps, and door prizes will be available. You can browse the new midi auto-arranger gallery featuring the latest Italian modules for your midi or V-Accordion including Ketron, Orla, & GEM.
Born in 1978, Ludovic Beier learned the accordion from his father and benefits from being part of a musical family. He was brought up in the French tradition of the instrument and turned to jazz a few years ago. He has a spirited, adventurous style which strays into all kinds of byways and is playing on the French and European scene with some of the top players of the Django/Swing Jazz style including Angelo Debarre, Dorado Schmitt, Florin Niculescu.
Ludovic Beier is giving the accordion a new name as his fingers go across the keys in an almost unbelievable way, both swinging and amazingly creative in his improvisation. Along with his virtuoso playing, he composes and arranges, and has his own band, Ludovic Beier Quartet, to perform his “cool and latin” French jazz.
Besides playing around Europe at top festivals and clubs, he appeared in the States with the Django Reinhardt Project, performing at Birdland (NYC) with guests such as Paquito D’Rivera, at Lincoln Center with Joe Lovano, at Yoshis (CA), and last summer at the Montreal International Jazz Festival with Angelo Debarre and James Carter where he brought the house down. Recently he shared the stage with Toots Thielemans, Hervie Hancoch and Ivan Lins at Carnegie Hall.
Music Magic USA is the first dealer in the USA to media advertise the new Roland V-Accordion both on the web as well as in full color Keyboard Magazine advertisements. They are among the initial charter group of accordion specialty retailers who were selected by Roland Corporation to become a nationwide authorized V-Accordion dealer and upgrade center and have recently visited the Italian Roland factory and design center to discuss customer feedback and suggest future improvements and additional accessories for the V-Accordion line.
After the concert, questions will be answered regarding midi and your accordion. Admission is free to MMUSA’s VIP members and their guests. Call or write for a reservation number and door prize entry. Admission for Non VIP members is $10.
