Press Reviews A few comments on the record..... "This an exciting, adventurous and well planned recording.The playing is magnificent and the music of Astor Piazzolla is played with great emotion. A great record!!" KENNY BARRON "I really think it is great. Very original, well played and fun to listen to.The band has a great sound and vibe. It seems to me this music has a broad appeal, and could enjoy big success. Best of luck"! BOB MINTZER "Libertango's choice of the Argentinian tango as a launching point for their music is a masterstroke.They've taken a form that already contains elements from many styles of music and invested their unique virtuosity and intelligence to produce a copletely personalized and fresh extension of the Tango and beyond. Their CD is beautifully produced, their musicianship of the very highest order." RALPH TOWNER "I really enjoyed the CD. Really good improvisers all.I also really like how you use the mediterranean theme for the recording.The album has a concept and I like that. Again congratulations on such a beautiful CD!"
