Nuevo Tango: Pablo Ziegler and His Trio
January 30, 7:30 pm
Ruth Taylor Recital Hall
715 Stadium Drive
Pablo Ziegler is an Argentine composer based in Buenos Aires and New York City. He is the leading exponent of Nuevo Tango thanks to the skills and reputation he gathered while working extensively as Astor Piazzolla's pianist in the 1980s. Ziegler's sharply percussive and metallically lyrical style bears comparison to both Vladimir Horowitz and Bill Evans. As a composer, Ziegler embraces Piazzolla's contrapuntal approach to tango music but adds jazz interpretation: lighter harmonies similar to those of Bossa Nova and extended passages of improvisation. www.artssa.org
