PIAZZOLLA BY FERNANDO TARRES

This Tuesday at 5 PM at the Recoleta Terrace, Fernando Tarrés (picture) -the leader of his sextet- will present “Todo Buenos Aires”, record of his tribute to Astor Piazzola’s work, commissioned by the Festival in 2009. He will be playing along with Damián Bolotin (violin), Rodrigo Domínguez (tenor sax), Juan Pablo Arredondo (guitar), Jerónimo Carmona (double-bass) and Carto Brandán (drums). This concert is one of the highlights of a day full of jazz in all of its styles, free at the Recoleta. This Tuesday there will be performances -besides Indigo Trio and Leo Alvarez- by Hugo Pierre quartet along with Ricardo Lew and friends, Luis Agudo and Pablo Bobrowicky, Ricardo Nolé, Les Amateurs and Paula Shocron’s orchestra.

“Todo Buenos Aires” is a record that includes versions of Piazzolla’s tangos such as “Invierno Porteño”, “Coral”, “Buenos Aires Hora Cero”, “Deus Xango”, among others. Federico Monjeau -Clarin newspaper critic - wrote: “Despite the misfortune of the starting point (Piazzolla‘s music, tango musicians, a huge stereotype), Tarrés is such a very good musician that he cannot be devastated by that force, and he can make great things, especially when music lies in the plain time (not pressed) of the jazz quartet and becomes more abstract and more unsteady”.
