		To Astor Piazzolla and his music Astor Piazzolla died in 1992 after a severe illness which he had already suffered from while he was in Paris, in his beloved Buenos Aires, in his native land of South America where he was born in 1921 in Seebad Mar del Plata on the Atlantic coast.
		The sound of the bandoneon, a hallmark of the music of Astor Piazzolla and known worldwide, was brought to life by Marcelo Nisinman, who in the difficult selection phase was personally given the blessing of Piazzolla.
		A much younger person was Sebastian Forster who Astor accompanied as he bought his first piano; today he takes this instrument throughout the whole world and receives much applause with it in his concerts.

		Astor was all enthused about doing this project and was crying on Franca's shoulder about needing someplace to write.
		So she came by, and I looked up in the control room at one point, in the middle of recording, and asked, "Astor, who's that?" He said, "Who's what?" I said, "Who's that beautiful girl in there, who is she?" He said, "Oh, it's just a girl." He wouldn't say anything.
		Astor's wife Amelita [Baltar] had come, so they went off someplace, and so I went off with the other guys who were involved in the recording and the engineer.

		Piazolla was the Argentinian master of the bandoneon (accordion), who was balled out of Buenos Aires by the establishment, took tango into the late 20th century.
		In theory, asking 15 DJ-remixers to explore his best-known pieces electronically, could work, but tango's essential function is as food for love-lorn or angst-laden souls and too many of these experimenters want to try and cheer us up.
		But several interesting new identities are created from Piazolla's curving notes, sighing violins and cascading piano chords.

		To paraphrase a statement made by Piazolla in the disc's liner notes, TANGO: ZERO HOUR is undoubtedly the finest effort by this utterly unique Argentinia-born and New York-raised musician.
		A master of the bandoneon, a buttoned squeeze-box that is the central instrument of tango music, Piazolla forges a hybrid style that mixes his love of tango with elements of jazz and classical and unifies the blend with an avant-garde sensibility.
		Over the course of five decades, Piazolla continually expanded the scope of the tango--or "tango nuevo," as his music came to be called--to produce a wealth of inventive music rich wth emotion.
