Dino Saluzzi

Composer, arranger, and world-class bandoneon participant Dino Saluzzi was created in 1935 in Campo Santo, Argentina, the boy of multi-instrumentalist and composer Cayetano Saluzzi, and spent his years as a child in Buenos Aires, where he was an associate from the Orquestra Estable in Radio un Mundo. By age 14 he had been leading his very own bands (his initial was Trio Carnival) and by the ’80s, he previously developed his exclusive bop-inflected and decidedly postmodern method of the tango, a strategy which has him artfully straddling the musical history, present, and potential with casual however acute balance. For everyone his association using the worldwide avant-garde, Saluzzi still maintains his allegiance towards the local folk customs of his youngsters, which connection provides his occasionally fragmented compositions an unusual middle of gravity. Saluzzi’s extended discography contains the albums Kultrum, A long time ago: A LONG WAY AWAY within the South (both from 1985), Volver (1986), Andina (1988), Argentina (1990), Mojotoro (1991), Rios (1995), Cite de la Musique (1997), Senderos (2005), Juan Condori (2006), and Ojos Negros (2007). Encuentro, with Anja Lechner on violincello and sibling Felix Saluzzi on tenor saxophone, combined with the Metropole Orchestra executed by Jules Buckley, premiered on ECM this year 2010. For 2011’s Navidad de los Andes (Andean Nativity), Saluzzi collaborated once more with Lechner and his sibling Saluzzi. Exactly the same season the accordionist, violinist Gidon Kremer, and vibraphonist Andrei Pushkarev co-headlined the tribute time Giya Kancheli: Themes through the Songbook. Saluzzi didn’t record once again with his very own group once again until 2013. That summer time, he joined a Buenos Aires studio room with his child José Maria on guitars, sibling Felix on reed and winds, and his nephew Matias on bass, in addition to guitarist Nicolas “Colacho” Brizuela and percussionist Quintino Cinalli. The producing album was released as Un Valle de la Infancia in the summertime of 2014.
