I hope you were able to catch the report about Astor Piazzolla today on NPR’s Day To Day.

If you missed it, you can listen to the entire show on the Day To Day site or you can download the following mp3 (Piazzolla-DayToDay-NPR20050330.mp3) if you want to hear just the Piazzolla article.

The reason for the article, aside from recognizing the genius of Piazzolla, is that the Rough Guide music series has come out with a new CD: Rough Guide to Astor Piazzolla featuring 14 of his most popular pieces. In his day, Piazzolla (other recordings by Astor Piazzolla) pushed the boundaries of tango to new horizons. If you’d like to see how today’s artists are extending the boundaries and breathing new life into tango, you might enjoy the Rough Guide to Tango Neuvo.

I’m providing these links to Amazon for your convenience (and because I get an affiliate percentage), but don’t forget that we also have the Adios Nonino [IMPORT] CD by Astor Piazzolla on hand for sale ($18.00). You can reserve online and pick them up (sorry, we don’t ship) at any class or milonga!
