This is a trio album released in 1985, featuring three acclaimed Argentine musicians: Lito Vitale, a central figure in the progressive rock band MIA and a prolific solo artist; Bernardo Baraj, a saxophonist renowned for his collaborations with Litto Nebbia; and Lucho Gonzalez, considered one of Argentina's finest guitarists, known for his work with Tabriente and contributions to Carlos Aguirre's projects. The album showcases stunning contemporary jazz from Argentina, blending classical influences with a mystic, atmospheric vibe reminiscent of the port city of Buenos Aires. Tracks like A2, where the crystalline beauty of electric piano and synthesizers melt into a melancholic soundscape, and B1, where intricate guitar strumming and backing piano intertwine with emotional saxophone lines, highlight the trio's synergy. This adult, moody masterpiece stands as one of the great achievements of Argentine contemporary jazz.
