MOOD 33.630 ~ GERMANY ~ Jazz-World Fusion
Recorded: 1989 Released: 1989
This is the 2nd album by the trio comprising of German Jazz pianist / composer Wolfgang DaunerFind albums by this artist, American saxophonist Charlie MarianoFind albums by this artist and Argentinian bandoneon player Dino SaluzziFind albums by this artist. The album presents six tracks, two each composed by Mariano and Saluzzi, one by Dauner and one by Uruguayan composer Jaime RoosFind albums by this artist.
The music is a wonderful tribute to the Tango, with original music by these excellent musicians, but close in spirit to the unique Tango mood, transferred into the Jazz environment. The interplay and obvious mutual respect and comradeship prevail and the music offers many slightly different approaches to the Tango idiom, full of brilliant improvisations, as appropriate to such Masters.
Overall, this is almost completely unknown gem, as all the releases on the small independent MoodFind albums on this label Records label, co-owned by Dauner, which is definitely worth searching for, as this music was created with the single purpose of making heartfelt, creative music, free of any commercial, market oriented motives.
