About the Album: Contemporary Tangos
Released in 1992, this milestone recording features ten original contemporary tangos composed for a chamber ensemble consisting of violin, piano, accordion, and cello. The romantic sound aesthetic inherent to this classical instrumentation masterfully blends with the light, rhythmic freedom of jazz. Throughout the album, traditional formal boundaries are elegantly broken, giving way to lyrical and avant-garde moments. Built upon profound musical communication, each composition leaves vast spaces for spontaneous improvisation, creating a vibrant and intense dialogue between the instruments.
