	Music: Tango's Last Dance? (Tucson Weekly . 08-25-97)
		Piazzola has been the fascination of musicians from every scope, as evidenced by the recent Al Di Meola record of Piazzola covers.
		Piazzola's transformation of the national music led to such animosity that he left Argentina in the early '60s.
		Like the others, Piazzola elevated the 19th century music born in the bars and the brothels, and turned it into a form of its own: a new Creole musical language as complex as any of the worlds' music.

	Chicago Guitarist: Articles
		Astor's family immigrated to New York in 1924 and at the age of nine Astor was given a bandoneon, an accordion-like instrument, by his father.
		Living in New York, Astor was quickly influenced by jazz greats, like Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, but at the same time held his Argentinian background through his father's playing of tango records by such masters as Carlos Gardél.
		Astor returned to Buenos Aires, in 1955, and set the tango world on its feet by establishing an octet of musicians which would perform tango as self-contained music rather than follow a singer.

		Astor Piazzola and the numerous editions of his works feature at the top of discographic lists.
		Owing to numerous recordings, Piazzola's admirers have already had the opportunity of listening to a variety of performances of his music: from Grace Jones to the top cello virtuoso Yo-Yo Ma; and now there is a brand new and young ensemble with an authentic sound – Beltango Quartet...
		Piazzola's "Tango nuevo" combines the traditional sounds of Argentina with jazz, blues, bossa nova, samba… and such a mixture seems to have been particularly inspiring for Aleksandar Nikolić (accordion), Oliver Pastor (violin), Ivana Nikolić (piano) and Nikola Bošković (double bass).

		The music of Astor Piazzolla epitomized our situation in the modern world with his fusion of folkloric beauty and contemporary tension.
		It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Astor Piazzolla, and if none of the recordings I've recommended have made you one yet, than I offer another chance.
		The quintet of Astor's bandoneon, electric guitar, bass, piano, and the phenomenal violin work of twenty year Piazzolla collaborator Fernando Suarez Paz makes a music that defies all conventionality, even years after its inception.

		Piazzola's work defies precise classification, still one can distinguish certain main styles and/or periods such as his Orquestas Tipicas, Octet, Quintet, Sextet, Classical, film music, and such.
		In 1940, when Piazzola became a member of 'Anibal Troilo's Orchestra', as a bandoneonista (an accordion type of instrument), his musical preferences were divided between pure Classical compositions and traditional Argentine Tangos for 'Orquestas Tipicas'.
		In 1955, Piazzola returned to Argentina, after his studies with Nadia Boulanger, and formed the 'Octeto Buenos Aires' (two bandoneones, two violins, piano, cello, electric guitar and bass), a group that produced his final break with the 'traditional' Tango, forever changing his attitude both as a player and as a composer.

		The Buenos Aires native is not content to ape the monumental musical influence of Astor Piazzolla - though even mimicry of the bandoneonist supreme is no small feat for any contemporary tango player.
		Acoustic bassist Aslan, following in the tradition of Astor Piazzola, is a proud carrier of the jazz tango flame in New York City.
		Aslan has a unique instrumental approach, as he one minute caresses the strings, the next minute tapping out drum patterns on the body of the bass, bowing the strings and then plucking them aggressively as the mood dictates.

		There have been, of late, some attempts by well-intentioned musicians to recreate in their own way the excitement of this music, but there is absolutely no substitute for the real thing.
		The highlight of the record for me is the piano cadenza in ‘Adios Nonino’ composed by Piazolla and masterfully played by the greatest living exponent of Argentine tango, Pablo Ziegler.

	Paul Vernon looks at the early days of the real Tango
		Because I knew nothing of the Tango's history, I was able to approach Piazzola's militantly angry music without the prejudice that Tango purists so vehemently held against him.
		When, a few days after the concert, I heard Piazzola's initial 1947 recordings and compared them to earlier examples of the genre, I began to understand what the fuss was about.
		Angered by social and political events, intensely patriotic, deeply committed to the rescuing of 'National' music, Piazzola continued playing, often outside his native land, and when the time was right, and old grievances had healed to an acceptable degree, he came back.
