A 1986 ECM masterpiece by Dino Saluzzi, one of Argentina’s leading nuevo tango bandoneon players, whose adventurous career has included collaborations with artists ranging from traditional to highly experimental fields. The album features an unusual quartet lineup with ECM-associated musicians Palle Mikkelborg, Charlie Haden, and Pierre Favre. Bandoneon seems to float through a field of silence, cymbals fall softly like rustling leaves, and bass and horn resonate with an almost physical presence. Precisely because of this profound sense of stillness, the listener is drawn ever more deeply into each individual sound, heightening the senses and creating an almost intoxicating immersion in the music. A superb recording that captures the essence of the ECM sound at its purest. Original German pressing.
