Early life

Viseur was born in Lessines, Belgium, on 17 May 1915.[1] His father was a bargeman, so the family moved around a lot until 1920, when they settled in Paris.Шаблон:Sfn Viseur was given basic instruction in how to play the accordion by his father from the age of eight, and then had lessons from a music professor.Шаблон:Sfn Father and son played together in an amateur band from 1929.Шаблон:Sfn After his father died,Шаблон:Sfn Viseur "began performing on the streets of Paris in fairs and markets".[2]

Later life and career

In the early 1930s, Viseur played second accordion under bandleader Médard Ferrero.Шаблон:Sfn In 1933, he met René "Charley" Bazin, and the two accordionists started improvising, inspired by hearing jazz.Шаблон:Sfn This led to Viseur forming his own band in 1935.Шаблон:Sfn It played in a variety of styles and recorded four tunes that year.Шаблон:Sfn "Viseur had the reeds in his Fratelli Crosio accordion filed down and retuned", which replaced the traditional vibrato of a musette accordion with a more modern sound.Шаблон:Sfn

Viseur "was a member of the orchestra led by the pianist Boris Sarbek, then worked in France and Belgium with Philippe Brun, Joseph Reinhardt, and his own quintet".[1] Together with guitarist Baro Ferret, Viseur added elements of swing to traditional musettes that they played from 1938 and into World War II.Шаблон:Sfn He had more public attention after recording "L'Accordéoniste" with singer Édith Piaf in 1940.Шаблон:Sfn

He toured the United States in 1963, then stopped playing and opened a record shop in Le Havre.[1] He started performing again around 1970,[1] and recorded the album Swing Accordéon the following year.Шаблон:Sfn Viseur died in Le Havre on 25 August 1974.[1]
