TANGO BAR / VARIOUS

NY CHORINHOS

This gritty collection of earthy, down-and-dirty blues gemes includes new renditions of "Don't Start Me Talking," "Katie Mae," "Richland Woman," and "Delia"

The name Astor Piazzolla may be forever linked with the tango, but the master composer/artist had another side that is finally revealed on this brand new release: chamber music. No kidding. Written primarily in the 1940s, before Piazzolla developed New Tango, these pieces demonstrate his flair for serious classical compositions. A must have for fans. Track list includes: "Vayamos Al Diablo," "Dos Piezas Breves," "Preludio 1953," "Suite Op. 2," "Milonga Sin Palabras," "Preludio No. 1," "Tres Piezas Breves," "Sonata No. 1 Op. 7".

Pour the cafe au lait, setting into your favorite easy chair and turn on this winsome collection of classic music and wordplay. This album also features standout recordings that will stimulate your synapses. Track highlights: "Crazeology" by Red Rodney, "Ephemera" by Carla Lother, "Take Five" by the John Basile Quartet, "If I Only Had a Brain" by Livingston Taylor and more!
