Escalandrum: Piazzolla Plays Piazzolla (2011)

As a special way of celebrating their tenth anniversary, the jazz sextet Escalandrum, featuring drummer Daniel “Pipi” Piazzolla, the grandson of the great Astor, is recreating for the first time the work of his illustrious bandoneonist grandfather. The programme combines the emotive touch of the family lineage with the music innovation: a series of arrangements of Piazzolla’s repertoire, specially designed for this concert, featuring Lunfardo, Escualo, Oblivion, Romance del Diablo, Adios Nonino, Fuga 9, Tanguedia, Verano Porteno, Vayamos al Diablo and Libertango.
Now Escaladrum is releasing the new album "Piazzolla plays Piazzolla" with an unique live show in Buenos Aires at Gran Rex Theater with reknowned sax player PAQUITO D'RIVERA as special guest.
Born in 1999, Escalandrum is made up of Nicolas Guerschberg (piano), Mariano Sivori (double bass), Damian Fogiel (tenor sax), Gustavo Musso (alto and soprano sax), Martin Pantyrer (bass clarinet and baritone sax), and “Pipi” Piazzolla. Escalandrum enrich their jazz with elements from the Argentine popular music, and to date they have released six albums and toured Latin America and Europe on several occasions.
