Carmen Carrozza (July 20, 1921 – June 17, 2013) was one of America's premier concert accordionists, before he retired from performing after suffering a stroke. He was born in the village of Solano in Reggio di Calabria, Calabria, Italy, in 1921 and emigrated to America with his family at age 9, settling with them in Chappaqua, New York. He played piano and violin, but soon became enamored with the accordion's flexibility, how it could fit perfectly into an orchestra or sound like an orchestra itself.
