A Master at Work

This has got to be a historic performance...

Astor Piazzolla and his ensemble performing his own composition, La Muerte del Angel (Death of an Angel) at the 1984 Montreal International Jazz Festival. As I have repeatedly pointed out before, his music is being performed across three genres-- tango, jazz and classical-- with increasing frequency, from tango clubs and jazz fests to hallowed classical concert halls, firmly putting him in the pantheon of the world's greatest musical giants.
