Matt & Phred’s host for the fourth time Tango Jazz Quartet, a wonderful and creative collision of Argentinian Tango and Jazz roots. 

With 10 albums released & 29 international tours made, including 7 consecutive years in UK, the band performed in the most prestigious jazz clubs and festivals in Europe, USA, China, Russia, South America and Africa.

“Synphonic Piazzolla” was his last project, premiered in 2021 together with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Nis Serbia and a version for chamber orchestra was presented on its 2022 tour together with the Belgrade Chamber Youth Orchestra at the Guarnerius Institut in Belgrade, Serbia.

This year the group returns to Matt & Phred’s  with a new repertoire that - that in addition to the work of Astor Piazzolla- explores a good part of traditional tango, especially the work of the great legend of Tango, the great singer and composer Carlos Gardel.

This showcase is a unique musical fusion of Tango and Jazz,  a fascinating journey from the origins of traditional Tango to the innovative proposals of Astor Piazzolla's music.

Tango Jazz Quartet magically captures the harmonies and the improvisation of jazz to blend them with the melodies and rhythms of tango. The striking contrast between the vibrant and playful "milongas", the romantic "tango-waltzes" and the electrifying music of Piazzzola will not leave anyone in the audience indifferent.

Line Up:
Martín Rao de Vita, on bass
Santiago Villalba, on piano
Ezequiel Vargas, on drums
Gustavo Firmenich, on tenor sax and clarinet
