The French accordionist, who played with all the greats including Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf, has died at the age of 91.
 

Marcel Azzola was credited with using his rare technical mastery of one of France’s most emblematic instruments to adapt it to the world of jazz.

Besides playing with Brel, he was known for his contribution to the soundtracks of dozens of films, including Jacques Tati’s “Mon Oncle.”
