Tango Jazz Quartet @ The Globe
Description The Globe proudly presents Tango Jazz Quartet a wonderful and creative collision of Argentinian Tango and Jazz roots. With 10 albums released 31 international tours made, including 7 consecutive years in UK, the band performed in the most prestigious jazz clubs and festivals in Europe, USA, China, Russia, South America and Africa. TJQ is distinguished by its innovative approach to interpreting Argentine Popular Music and by its constant activity and innovation in its musical offerings. The music of Tango Jazz Quartet ranges from traditional tango to the music of Astor Piazzolla, without ever leaving the realm of jazz. The band has been declared “Tango Ambassadors” by the Buenos Aires Legislature and is sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina. This year the group returns to The Globe with a renewed repertoire that explores a good part of traditional tango and the avant-garde tango by the famous composer Astor Piazzolla. Enzo Villar, on bass Horacio Acosta, on piano Ezequiel Vargas, on drums Gustavo Firmenich, on tenor sax & clarinet “I was quite amazed at just how great groove this was! The band could be swinging, rocking, funking, jazzing or whatever, that tango rhythm was embedded in it all” By Lance Liddle. Bebop Spoken Here “ Tango Jazz Quartet, from Argentina. A foursome that demonstrates how tango and its variants support a music culture more than they offer just an excuse to take the floor with risqué intent, the TJQ tour the world like missionaries.” By Nigel Jarret.
