Tango Meets Jazz - 10 Favorite Classical Tangos for Piano (with CD)

original version and jazzy arrangement

edition with CD, original version + jazzy arrangement

Tango ? that`s not just a `classical` dance form but, in addition, pretty much a philosophy of life, yet in any

case a `bath` in the whirlpool of emotions. This volume contains 10 tangos,

including such popular pieces as

`Jalousie`, `El Choclo`, `Por una Cabeza` and even more recent classics such as `Adios Nonino` by Astor

Piazzolla. The arrangement for piano tried to do justice to the specific sound image of the tango as much as

possible. Each tango comes together with a jazzy piece in which, in most cases, the preceding tango is

newly interpreted in a jazz-related style, but sometimes is combined in pairs with a new composition.

Whether it is an arrangement or a new composition, the idea always comes from the tango itself. For instance,

the corn cob (`El Choclo`) is made into a corn dish with a tangy sauce (`Choclo con Salsa`), while fiery

jealousy (`Jalousie`) serves to light a Cuban cigar (`Le Cigare Jaloux`). An unhappy lover tries his luck at the

races (`Por una Cabeza`), where he might be advised to bet on Spanish horses (`Caballos Espanoles`). Astor

Piazzolla wrote his piece `Adios Nonino` after the death of his father: jazzing this up would be totally

inappropriate. The `Preludio del Angel` that follows it is a new composition inspired by Piazzolla and Bach.
