Penas Argentinas by Jorge Daniel Szajko and Orquesta Salvaje
|
|
Penas Argentinas is Jorge Szajko�s second CD released on SLAM (following �Orquestra Salvaje�, SLAMCD 246). His first CD attracted some of the best critiques of any SLAM release: �I'm sorry, Jorge, but I cannot afford a genius grant for you. I would if I could, but at least I can let the world know what I think of this astonishing disc� Fred Barrett, Beyond Coltrane. �Szajko clearly has a unique musical vision that stretches beyond words� Francois Couture All Music Guide. Jazz Views voted it in the top ten �non British� CDs of 2002. The title of this second CD is loosely interpreted as �Argentine Blues� and some of the music (the Milonga and the Zamba) reflect the problems of the country�s problems during the past 3 years � but life goes on with the irrepressible Chacarera and Carnavalito.
