"Mystical yet fiery, passionately romantic yet supremely cool…"

Gato Barbieri
Legendary Argentinian Saxophonist




Last Tango In Paris

Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri splashed into the European-American avant garde jazz scene in the mid 1960s. His sax playing is unmistakable, wild and full. He found his voice bringing the percussion and rhythms of South America into his music; while his focus was more cultural than spiritual, his association with keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith brought his music into the cauldron of musical ferment centered around Pharoah Sanders. Mystical yet fiery, passionately romantic yet supremely cool…you hear those first few notes from that instantly recognizable tenor and know you’re in the unique musical world of Gato Barbieri.*

Esa noche habían dos conciertos, nosotros fuimos al de las 8: 00pm. Una vez terminado el concierto y cuando estábamos saliendo del lugar, uno de los administrador nos pregunto, si nos queríamos quedar al segundo concierto(gratis) que comenzaría aprox. 10:10pm. Sin pensarlo dos veces le dije que si, que estaría encantado...
En buena hora... esta vez Gato Barbieri salió totalmente “pre-calentado” y la noches se transformo en “montaña rusa” de emociones.
