Bravo! Jack, these are sounding excellent. The Courant is by far the best that I have heard you play it. And the Cancion y Danza are also sounding really good.…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
@David Krupka Thanks David. This piece was hidden away for many years. Carlevaro did record it in 1965, around the time he composed it, and included it in his Vincente Vallegos album,…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
"Milonga Oriental" is another example of Carlevaro's compositional style in which he combines so masterfully the folkloric rhythm of the milonga with modern tonality.…

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
@Wai Thanks. The instrument that you saw in the background is a Setar. Not to be confused with a sitar, the setar is an Persian string instrument. I took some lessons a few years ago and pulled it…

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶

Re: Week 4: Tango Tempest 🌪️🎶
