The five hundred and ninety-eighth album: #598 Astor Piazzolla & Gary Burton - The New Tango
I wasn't expecting a jazz-infused tango album today, a combination of some tango sounds with the speed and feel of the jazz albums we mostly listened to about five hundred albums ago. It's a weird mix, the urgency of the tango creating a speed you don't normally get with jazz, but it not reaching the joy of the tango either. The album is set up as a concert recording and it does feel like it's almost more a classical track than something more contemporary.
