"sizzling accounts and powerful impact" – Jazzwise

"punchy, entertaining, and full of light and shade" – The Guardian

"Original and exciting approach to 'the space between' jazz and tango... a highly effective combination that works beautifully, and offers a wide variety of imaginative and exciting moods" – The List

 

Not so much a piano trio as a three-headed musical instrument, Tangalgo came together in 2003 to explore the space between jazz and tango.

Sharing a love for the music of Astor Piazzolla, we began with radical re-arrangements of his tango scores, progressing quickly to evocative originals, adding a bit of free improv, latin groove and haunting classicism to the mix.

Today, as we continue to develop this space, Tangalgo moves effortlessly from high drama to delicate introspection, lurking menacingly somewhere between the passion of the tango and the unpredictability of jazz.
