Gerry Mulligan + Astor Pizzazola Lp

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

saw this @ the record store today but it was on a shelf and i couldnt reach it-- has anyone heard this? is it tango-jazz? whats it like? whats the year and other musicans, etc?

Quite a unique disc! And a delightful one.

I have the French vinyl (on Festival).

You can call it tangojazz if you want. There is a good mix of the two. Piazzola plays bandoneon and Mulligan sticks to baritone.

They are accompanied by Italian musicians (this was recorded in Rome in October 1974).

Piazzola composed the tunes except for one 'Aire de Buenos Aires' which was penned by Mulligan.

It was recorded in Milan (not Rome). Piazzolla and Mulligan were accompanied by:

Angel 'Pocho" Gatti - keyboards (who's Argentinian, BTW)

Bruno De Filippi and Filippo Daccò - electric guitar

Pino Prestipino - electric bass

Tullio De Piscopo - drums

plus a string trio and a string orchestra

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

After reading this post I decided to find my old tape of "Summit" and put it on CD. While surfing for a picture of the cover I found a web site (in Spanish I think) where you can download this entire album, free, with no entry of your e-mail, name, etc. Go here Mulligan - Astor and scroll down the page. The sound quality is excellent as I've already burned it on to a CD. Be sure to right click the download link and chose "save as" and then put it in a folder of your choice.

Chewy:

To quote the Rolling Stones, "You Can't Always Get What You Want"...........but if you try real hard you'll get the album you want.

Unless the plane takes you back to pre-1970 Donald Byrd, you are going to be very disappointed. He lost his "chops" a long time ago.
