Victor Prieto. “A fiendishly skilled accordionist and composer” ….”An effervescent improviser”….”A dynamic jazz accordionist”
The New York Times
Prieto has raised the bar on what is possible on the accordion. His intensity and delight penetrate all barriers.
The New York Post
Prieto plays accordion the way Toots Thielmans plays harmonica or Dino Saluzzi plays bandoneon. He transcends the instrument and just plays music. The key features of Prieto’s music are lyricism and drama. He writes fine, memorable melodies, then works with the band to create tracks with a very clear dramatic arch, sometimes more than one, engaging and carrying the listener forward… He tells stories and paints pictures with music
