For over 15 years, Tango No. 9 has been exploring the breadth and depth of Tango,
from the classic sounds of the early dance standards through Astor Piazzolla’s
revolutionary Tango Nuevo all the way up to Tango-inspired Chamber works that
were composed especially for the group. Tonight they will be presenting a mix
of new additions to their repertoire as they prepare for their fifth album, as well as
old favorites.
Catharine Clune – violin
Greg Stephens – trombone
Zoltan di Bartolo – vocal
Joshua Raoul Brody – piano
“Reliably excellent!” – Hurwitt, SF Chronicle
“La dolce vita, indeed!” — Adam Savetsky, San Francisco Bay Guardian
“As soon as we got settled, the music grabbed us by the emotional necktie and pushed us up against a sonic wall. Abandoning all desire for chat, we gave ourselves over to the music…”
— Hiya Swanhuyser, SF Weekly
“French cigarette smoke from the heart of a dark Paris café comes pouring out of this album … the lonely sensuality of a bandoneon … the sexy slur of a trombone … the heartbreaking sigh of a violin and the therapeutic chords of a piano. If this quartet had a vocalist, she would have a whiskey voice and an angel’s body.” — Chuck Graham, Tucson Citizen
