(Press release)
This showcase is a unique musical fusion of Tango and Jazz, a
fascinating journey from the origins of traditional Tango to the innovative
proposals of Astor Piazzolla’s music.
Tango Jazz Quartet magically captures the harmonies and the
improvisation of jazz to blend them with the melodies and rhythms of tango. The
striking contrast between the vibrant and playful “milongas”, the romantic
“tango-waltzes” and the electrifying music of Piazzzola will not leave anyone
in the audience indifferent.
The band has also worked in the production of musical films: it has produced the documentary “Tango Meets Jazz” premiered at the 2020 Black Mountin Jazz Festival in Wales and the film “Centenary of Music & composer Astor Piazzola” together to Welsh violinist Xenia Porteus premiered at the 2021 Brecon Jazz Festival in Wales.
Saxophonist and clarinetist Gustavo Firmenich, leader of TJQ
recreated with this band the dancing evenings that were common in the golden
era of the tango in Buenos Aires, where Tango and Jazz lived together although
playing separately.
Founded in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2009 and after more than 10
years of uninterrupted tours, Tango Jazz Quartet has consolidated its presence
in the music scene of most places in the world.
