Tango-Nuevo (1996)
Description
When I first saw Astor Piazzolla perform at the Montreal Jazz Festival in the late eighties, I was immediately taken by his contagious vivacity on stage. Above all else in NUEVO TANGO music, I am attracted by the extreme contrast of emotions evoking moods ranging from deep passion to elating tenderness. I came across this description of the tango by Pierre Monette, which I think captures much of Piazzolla’s musical spirit.
“The Tango feeds on memories. If blues music comes from the pain in the soul, tango comes form inside these wounds associated with a profound sense of loss, – exile. The heart of tango is not in Argentina, but in the wounded heart that we all have inside us that beats to the slow count of the passage of time…â€
