Pablo Ziegler Latin Jazz Trio at Sha Tin Town Hall

Read "Pablo Ziegler Latin Jazz Trio at Sha Tin Town Hall" reviewed by Rob Garratt


Pablo Ziegler Latin Jazz Trio Sha Tin Town Hall, Hong Kong October 16, 2018 There's a tightly wound ball of contradictions at the heart of Astor Piazzolla's “nuevo tango" revolution, which injected the common man's South American dance music with classical sophistication and jazz-influenced harmony, literally taking tango from the dancehalls to concert halls, elevating its association from brothels to academia. The quest continues in the Argentinian composer's survivors, of which the ...

Pablo Ziegler Trio: Jazz Tango

Read "Jazz Tango" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Jazz Tango--winner of the 2018 Grammy for “Best Latin Jazz Album"--is a distillation of pianist Pablo Ziegler's vision. Leading a trio of American-based Argentinians, Ziegler delivers a program that perfectly encapsulates the titular hybridized form that he knows so well. This exhilarating outing opens on Nuevo Tango patriarch Astor Piazzolla's “Michelangelo 70," a number simultaneously referencing a famed Buenos Aires tango club and the composer's year of departure for Europe. With some chromatic zest and loads of ...

Pablo Ziegler's Nuevo Tango Passion: Amsterdam Meets New Tango and Tango Nostalgias

Read "Pablo Ziegler's Nuevo Tango Passion:  Amsterdam Meets New Tango and Tango Nostalgias" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Astor Piazzolla invited jazz into the world of tango, birthing a hybridized form of music that's outlived its creator; jazz, proving equally hospitable, opened its doors to Piazzolla and nuevo tango. High-end artists like saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, vibraphonist Gary Burton, and guitarist Al Di Meola all collaborated with the legendary composer/bandoneon player, helping to raise his profile and that of nuevo tango music on the whole. Piazzolla had a notable influence on, in addition to all three of these musicians, ...

Pablo Ziegler: Buenos Aires Report

Read "Buenos Aires Report" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Pablo Ziegler (piano), Quique Sinesi (guitars) and Walter Castro (bandoneon) fly in on the wings of their Grammy-winning Best Tango Album 2005 Bajo Cero (Zoho) with another enticing set of tunes. Ziegler composed five new ones, revamped two more, added a tune by Sinesi as well as the Astor Piazzolla classic “Libertango.

The music was recorded over two shows at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam. Nine tunes were selected from the sixteen that made up the night. The choice is judicious, ...

Pablo Ziegler: Buenos Aires Report

Read "Buenos Aires Report" reviewed by Ralph A. Miriello


To hear the delightful sounds of Argentinean tango/jazz pianist, Pablo Ziegler and his trio on Buenos Aires Report is to allow oneself the indulgence of being transported to strolling the streets of Buenos Aires or to be swept into a scene of casual open-air dining at a late night café in Paris. The music is a sensuous combination of tango-inspired melodies with elements of classical music, jazz improvisational techniques and a sprinkling of gypsy bravado. This is definitely ...

Pablo Ziegler Quartet: Tango & All That Jazz

Read "Tango & All That Jazz" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Un disco splendido, su cui aleggia la memoria e l’eredità della musica di Astor Piazzolla, insuperato maestro del nuovo tango argentino. Un’esperienza speciale ed indimenticabile; un insegnamento qui rivissuto con rispetto e passione da un gruppo eterogeneo, composto da musicisti di impostazione e personalità diverse. La flessibilità ed in più l’attitudine al rischio del quintetto costituiscono la vera chiave di volta di un percorso ben congegnato, condotto all’insegna dell’eleganza e del nitore formale. Un coacervo di suoni e di esperienze, ...
