The music throughout this set, which consists of
Dino Saluzzi originals, is quite charming. The combination of
Saluzzi's bandoneon, acoustic guitarist
José Maria Saluzzi, and bassist
Palle Danielsson works quite well, and both the arranged and improvised ensembles are melodic. Some of the music consists of modern tangos and there are also ballads and more jazz-oriented pieces. The mood is sometimes wistful and nostalgic, but it is not derivative of the past. A delightful set. ~ Scott Yanow
