Latest CD by pianist/composer, GRAMMY and LATIN GRAMMY winner Pablo Ziegler, an artist who been synonymous with the very best of tango music for decades. Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ziegler is celebrated for pushing the musical boundaries of Nuevo Tango. And for good reason: He has helped to shape this very genre, beginning his career as Astor Piazzolla's pianist, and later, composing and arranging his own works that have become standout classics. Ziegler has breathed fresh ideas into tango, adding influences of classical music and contemporary jazz to the genre, to the delight of audiences around the world. Radiotango continues Ziegler's intrepid and ceaseless march toward adding a fresh and vibrant spirit to the music. The title track Radiotango comes from the radio program "FM Tango" that aired in Buenos Aires in 1988 and 1989. There is no doubt that this arrangement will catch the antennas of porteños (those from Buenos Aires), with rolling lines performed by Ziegler on piano and Hector del Curto on bandoneon who joined again following Ziegler's previous 2018 Grammy-winning album "Jazz Tango". La Rayuela evokes a brisk milonga rhythm that has become a favorite for tango dancers. It was initially popularized in the early twentieth century. Ziegler re-arranged the cello in a more melodic way, which is performed by the incredible Jisoo Ok, over the rock-solid bass foundation provided by one of the premier bassists in tango music, Pedro Giraudo, a 2018 Latin Grammy winner in his own right. Fuga y Misterio is an elegant fuga style which Piazzolla composed in 1960. It's from the opera "Maria de Buenos Aires" and alludes to the time in which he studied counterpoint in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. o encounter Ziegler's music is to experience genius. And to encounter the man himself, is to know a gentleman. It has been a high privilege to collaborate on Radiotango with one of the greatest tango masters of them all
