Argentine born bassist and producer Pablo Aslan directs Avantango, a tango-jazz ensemble featuring New York based Argentine musicians and dancers that performs throughout the United States. His CD “Avantango” (Zoho Music) was selected as one of the Best Albums of the Year, Critics Choice 2004 by JAZZIZ magazine. (“A collective of musicians who are not afraid to bend the rules of both jazz and tango. While some may want to call it tango-jazz, the music is much more than that. ” Jazz Times) His new CD on Zoho Music “Buenos Aires Tango Standards” is a result of his recent experience performing and recording in Buenos Aires, and features a unique blend of tango and jazz in performances of tango standards. “…a stunningly inventive record that merges the dynamic relationship and improvisational skills of a virtuosic group with the lush compositions of influential tango composers.” All About Jazz. “(it) so completely and artfully integrates two musical worlds, here tango and jazz, that it is impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.” Jazz Times
His current work includes performances with Nonesuch recording artist Fernando Otero’s X-Tango, Argentine jazzman Adrian Iaies, and a collaboration with Paquito D’Rivera and Venezuelan flute virtuoso Marco Granados. In April 2007 Pablo performed as a special guest with Lincoln Center’s Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, led by Arturo O’Farrill. He also tours regularly throughout the US with his tango-jazz show “Avantango”.
