Astor Piazzolla is arguably the greatest tango musician of all time and, from the 1950s onwards, he continued to experiment to test the limits of the genre. A virtuoso on the bandoneon, a brilliant composer, arranger and bandleader, Piazzolla conjured a sound that fused the evolutionary tangos of Anibal Troilo, jazz, ambient and classical avant-garde aberrations.
'The Rough Guide To Astor Piazzolla' is a soundtrack to the teeming city of Buenos Aires peopled by colourful characters and incredible stories and reflects his remarkable lifetime achievement.
