[Machine Translation] A beautiful and dramatic concept album by Astor Piazzolla, world master of Nuevo Tango, for American Clave, which sold record-breaking numbers in Europe. The world's first, state-of-the-art remastering + green audiophile coating + original jacket specificationThe world's first digital new remastering of Astor Piazzolla's masterpiece for Kip Hanrahan's "American Clave"! Based on two short stories by Argentinean writer Horus Luis Borges, Piazzolla wrote the music for the off-Broadway butoh musical "Tango Apasionado" (1987), directed and choreographed by Graciela Daniele, a dancer, choreographer and director from Argentina. The album was produced by Kip Hanrahan and Piazzolla himself, and was recorded in August/September 1987. The basic instrumentation is the same as the regular quintet, except for the alto saxophone/clarinet (played by Paquito Delibera), which is added on some tracks. The quintet is composed of the same musicians as the regular quintet. However, since the original violinist was unable to express himself tango style, a regular member of the quintet, Fernando Suarez Paz, took his place, and as a result, the quality of the performance was enhanced. The participation of Andy Gonzalez, one of the best contrabass players in the Latin jazz world, and the aforementioned Paquito added a unique color to Piazzolla's sound that cannot be found in his other albums.
