Burton assembles a killer band for Libertango's Piazzolla pieces, with guitarist Horacio Malvicino, violinist Fernando Suarez-Paz, and pianist Pablo Ziegler all coming from long tenures with Piazzolla's bands. What Burton does with the music will be unusual to tango enthusiasts and jazz fans alike. For the former group, he uses the vibraphone--with its hybrid percussive and harmonic properties--to sketch short improvisations and nuanced colorings inside the melodies. For jazz fans, Burton demonstrates how dynamically flexible tango formations are. They're intricately built and elaborately dramatic, but with Burton in the picture, the sonic dimensions widen and the vibes alternately mesh and stand out in the mix. He can comment on the melody, wind his own way through it, and solo all in a single piece, sounding perfectly adapted to his role. The Piazzolla tunes--including some of his most renowned ("Adios Nonino" and "Invierno Porteno")--come at a faster-than-normal clip, but in this way, they leap and hop. --Andrew Bartlett P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review Besides pioneering the four-mallet technique on the vibraphone, Gary Burton was one of the first to explore jazz-fusion and country music on the instrument. He then adapted to tango, recording a sparkling duet album with the late Astor Piazzolla and touring with his group. Burton recently got together with Piazzolla's band to record the Astor Piazzolla Reunion. This sequel features a few well-known compositions but is mostly made up of material that Piazzolla wrote for his band members. The music, although sophisticated and complex, is not as improvisational as most jazz. Burton proves himself to be up to the challenge of playing with these stellar tango masters, and Libertango is a gem. -- From Rhythm Magazine See more ## Images ![Libertango - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51o2Iywh0kL.jpg) ![Libertango - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iWSzXrGzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical Brilliance *by K***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 3, 2000* When I saw the lineup of musicians Burton assembled for this album, I had to buy it. These are guys who play for the love and honor of the great master, not a bunch of egomaniacs eager to show what each can do alone. The technical brilliance of this album makes it seem like these musicians have been playing together for years, which in many instances is exactly the case. I was originally skeptical about how vibes would sound playing music as intricate as Piazzolla's, but I'm here to tell you it worked. Burton's playing does not overshadow the others, rather it complements their playing working particularly well on Fuga Y Misterio and Escualo. I am pleased to see the inclusion of Libertango which has become almost de rigeur for those seeking to interpret Astor's music. This music here is of a quality that you will be reaching for this CD for years to come. If you love Piazzolla, buy this CD today! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Five Star Tribute To The Late Great Tango Master! *by R***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2016* Now that Gary Burton brought his influential vibraphone-oriented magic well into the 21st Century in stunning force, he had decided to release his time-honoured CD that paid tribute to Astor Piazolla, the daring and outspoken Argentine virtuoso who helped revolutionized the tango and Latin jazz alike (the second time around in slick timing. Libertango—The Music Of Astor Piazolla is dedicated with love and respect to the innovative tango composer and master bandoneon player, who truly remains the ‘one towering artist who defined the entire genre of this wonderful dance music’ and was a friend of Burton (they made a couple duet sessions together when Astor was alive. Beginning with the solid title track, the passionate track set proceed with other classic works like Inverno Porteno, Escualo, Buenos Aires Horo Cero, Fuga Y Misterioso, Molonga Del Angel, Fugata, Milongo Loca and also the final track Adios Nonino, in which Burton heads a first rate Latin band with pizzazz and striking merit. Billed as an official follow-up to Astor Piazolla Reunion: A Tango Excursion just two earlier, the great jazz vibraphonist continues to build up on Piazolla’s rich legacy on Libertango- The Music Or Astor Piazolla he does in passionate timing performed by an expert combo-based ensemble featuring a cast of Piazolla alumni in new perfor- mances of pieces, some written by several Latin composers, of pieces he create in specific order.
