Katzen Kapell, Kirche, Alas, Shikata Akiko etc
Fujino Yuka (藤野由佳) is known as an accordion player. She is a member of Rivendel also she plays in Kirche (guest member) and Shikata Akiko (support member).
Katzen Kapell is a Swedish band. Lead vocalist is female and she plays the accordion.
Alas's new album includes accordion in many parts.
If you are interested in Piazzola, some of his albums taste progressve rock. Try his music !
Demi Semi Quaver's vocalist Emi Eleonola is also known as an accordion player. However their music is not always put into progressive rock. Early Demi Semi Quaver is better for me.
Quikion is already mentioned on this thread.
U~~~M, if I try to search my collection, there are probably more other bands. But I can suggest only these bands / artist, now.

I believe Mike Oldfield uses an accordian in Amarok, bute very breifly. Other that that I can't think of anything else.

Definitely you can - I saw Andrew Giddings play the accordion both live in Rome earlier this year and on the "Living With the Past" DVD - Ian Anderson calls it "the squeezy thing"! |

Skeleton Crew and News From Babel both use accordion (played by Zeena Parkins), but it's more of a featured instrument than integral to the sound.
Thijs Van Leer played a bit of accordion on Hocus Pocus by Focus, but I don't recall Focus using the instrument much anywhere else.
John Greaves - Chansons uses accordion extensively throughout, and the excellent Songs also features it here and there.
Not prog, but maybe of interest: the Anouar Brahem albums Le Pas Du Chat Noir and Le Voyage De Sahar were both recorded by a piano/oud/accordion trio and are excellent. The Khomsa album also features accordion on about half the tracks. The albums are on ECM and blend North African music, jazz and something of Eno's shorter ambient pieces (think Another Green World or Music for Films).

The best accordian music in prog is Swedish Family - Vintage Prog
It's Tomas Bodin from The Flower Kings kind of...just look at the concept. |

Speaking of Jethro Tull John Evan plays some accordion on the "War Child" album. Early Fairport Convention albums also have some songs played on accordion, I think, by Ashley "Tyger" Hutchings.

There's some of it on the first RENAISSANCE's self titled debut from 1969.
Though not prog, JACK BRUCE also vomited sometimes though an accordion during the CREAM days. Maybe he could have just sticked to his bass.

I was going to say I think Focus use it now and again, I'm sure it's used by Harmonium on one track in particular on their wonderful 5 seasons album, (sorry I forget the French title) and of course there's the wonderful "C'est La Vie", on which it creates that treu characature of France, ah yes I can smell zee onions...

I don't believe anyone has mentioned Uzva yet, they have quite a bit of accordian. We need far more prog music with accordian.

Just in case. Hollmer is the Accordion Prog Daddy. Also, a dip into Samla Mammas Manna, Zamla Mammaz Manna and Von Zamla (all featuring Hollmer as a main composer/performer and thus soaked with accordion) is essential. |
