Steve Jordan and Oscar Tellez



Steve Jordan is known as the Jimi Hendrix of the button accordion in some circles - and sometimes also as El Parche because of his eye patch. Some people think he is the best button accordion player alive. I don't know if that's true, but he sure is damned good. In this video, he's playing with the late Oscar Tellez, who was a well-known bajo sexto player in the conjunto/norteno community. Their sound is straight up here, but often Jorden uses some kind of echo-plex device to alter the sound from his instrument.

hmmmmm. He's hot. I suspect that there is going to be one hell of a catfight between me and Belle Barth over him.

(I'll scratch her eyes out if she goes anywhere near him)
