This developed into blues and jazz, from the United States. This tradition was continued from the 1920's to the 1940's by orchestras recording records in which the accordion played a major role. Purists cried scandal, and for a while there was great debate. The guitar style accordion was well liked by the public and many duos flourished, performing in the streets and for tourists in the suburbs of Vienna. The years following have produced many notable Austrian accordionists, including Henri Kaleta, who won the 1958 Coupe Mondiale World Championships.
Today there are many well known and respected Austrian accordionists.
