Munich Modern Jazz Orchestra

In the organizer's words:

With the Libertango Suite, the Munich Modern Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to the Argentinian bandoneon virtuoso and composer Astor Piazolla (1921 - 1992). The forefather of Tango Nuevo wrote the work in the 1950s and published it for the first time. In 2002, the renowned hr Bigband performed an arrangement by composer Fred Sturm that was as sensitive as it was rich in sound colors - and is now being revived by the Munich band.

The Munich Modern Jazz Orchestra has invited accordionist Vladislav Cojocaru, a soloist of distinction - he is a proven connoisseur of Tango Nuevo and an expert on Piazolla.

The work Libertango and other compositions stand for this mixture of passion, melancholy, melancholy and zest, of tradition and musical openness to the world, of tango movement and modern jazz aesthetics. These virtues are typical of Piazolla's work. The Sturm arrangements emphasize the characteristics of the music in a very special, nuanced, rhythmically stirring and touching way.
