about

“Buenos Aires Blues” (dedicated to New Orleans) begins with a jarring ostinato that draws a sharp and even foreboding line. Such fierceness is warranted, as the port city of New Orleans was a destination for many people who were forced to be there. Africans were brought as slaves and sold in city markets, an ugly and sinful chapter of America’s checkered past that also left its mark on music. Solla invokes a blues form to evoke the historical blackness and brownness of this port, while the beat and melody's rhythm are a clear reference to Astor Piazzolla modern tango. The escalation of horn lines builds suspense and tension throughout the piece. There’s even tautness to the saxophone soli, bracketed by the march-march of snare work. It’s only until Goss’s saxophone solo, that Solla gives the audience a moment of unvarnished swing. Julien Labro’s accordina solo accompanied by Pablo Aslan’s arco bass is a beautiful duet moment of this entire production.
