Tango, Vol. 1 Review

by John Storm Roberts

From the mid-'40s on, Salgan has been one of the great tango pianists, influenced by jazz without straying into crossover. In 1959 he began playing in duet with guitarist del Lio, and this live 1988 recording is something of a tango pinnacle, with more elegance and freedom than the dance-oriented groups but more drive and snap than the nuevo version.
