I think your accordion background contributes to a lot of your (and other players too) rhythm and timimg capabilities.

Hence, rhythm and timing thru training.
MrEd ... Thanks for taking me back to basics ... too often I 'forget' about the strong musical background my accordion days have given me ... Another point about the bellows control is that we also have to 'plan ahead' for long sustained notes, so that we do not change the direction of the bellows while playing a sustained note ... this was of critical importance during competitions ...
But I still play most songs as if I were singing them...
... which perhaps lends more to phrasing than to rhythm...
