Title: Astor Piazzolla – The Rough Dancer And The Cyclical Night (Tango Apasionado) [1987] {Japan 2009}
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Following the acclaimed 1986 album Tango: Zero Hour, Ástor Piazzolla’s Rough Dancer and the Cyclical Night, recorded with his Quinteto Nueva Tango, including pianist Pablo Zinger and violinist Fernando Suarez Paz, features guest artists Andy Gonzalez on bass and Latin jazz alto saxophonist Paquito d’Rivera. Piazzolla’s passionate, complex bandoneon solos dominate, set against producer Kip Hanrahan’s spacious soundscape, with a smoother, more whimsical feel compared to the intense tempo and mood shifts of Zero Hour. Created for the musical Tango Apasionado, which traces tango’s evolution from Buenos Aires origins to the modern era, this album blends nuevo tango’s jazz and classical influences with a refined touch. A must-have for Piazzolla fans and tango enthusiasts, it stands alongside Tango: Zero Hour as a pinnacle of his innovative legacy.
