These interviews are online reprints from the French magazine Accordeon et accordeonistes, originally part of a special on swing accordion. The common thread among the interviews is that all artists have been members of Alma Sinti at some point or other. As a sad reminder, the interviews were conducted only days before Patrick Saussois's stroke.
