Music
"Jazz Up" Series: Pablo Ziegler Latin Jazz Trio
"(He) makes everything look easy and natural... Just as a really suave tango dancer seems not to move with feet but on wheels, Ziegler skates the keyboard." - The Los Angeles Times
"It is called nuevo Tango for its blending of jazz and the more traditional tango. But in the hands of Pablo Ziegler, it is, above all labels, transcendent music. " - Montecristo Magazine
"There's no question that Ziegler takes the tango to levels of sophistication and refinement probably undreamed of by Piazzolla. " - Chicago Tribune
This exceptional trio has been constantly on tour in Europe and Asia since 2000. Their 2005 release, “Bajo Cero”, won the Latin Grammy for Best Tango Album. Their album, “Buenos Aires Report” was also nominated for the same prize in 2008.
The Buenos Aires-born, award-winning pianist, composer and arranger Pablo Ziegler, who performed in the grand maestro of tango music, Astor Piazzolla’s legendary quintet for over a decade, has been one of the most important figures in the genre of Argentinian new tango. More recently, Ziegler led another trio to create “Jazz Tango”, and received the 60th annual Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2018.
Quique Sinesi is one of the most versatile guitarists from Argentina. As a composer for classical guitar, Sinesi has established a great reputation for his insightful, meticulous and virtuosic interpretation of the genre. Walter Castro, who is an integral figure on the tango scene with his remarkable bandoneon playing, shines in ensembles large and small. While each member is a master in his own right, the trio has together written new arrangements and compositions that have won them an enthusiastic following who love their incredible talents, and have set new standards in tango nuevo. The trio is coming to Hong Kong with their 2015 release, “Desperate Dance”. This is a concert that is definitely not to be missed!
