A VERY UNIQUE EVENT!Your chance to dance Tango to the live musical fusion of two great genres: Tango and Jazz. It will be a night to remember.
'Tango Jazz Quartet' mixes the melodic and rhythmic patterns of Tango with the harmonies and improvisation of Jazz. This new approach to Tango and Jazz has received an enthusiastic reaction both in Argentina as well as internationally. The music of Tango Jazz Quartet goes from the 'traditional tango' to the music of Astor Piazzola without ever abandoning the territory of jazz.

Saxophonist and clarinetist Gustavo Firmenich, leader of TJQ recreated, with this band, the dancing evenings that were
common in the 'golden era' of the tango in Buenos Aires, where Tango and Jazz lived together although playing separately.
With 29 international tours performed and more than 40 countries visited, Tango Jazz Quartet performed in the most prestigious venues around the world such as San José Summer Jazz Festival, San José California, Shanghai Jazz Festival, Nisville International Jazz, Festival, Serbia; Latin Jazz Festival, Stuttgart, Germany, Bansko Jazz Festival, Tango & Jazz Festival, Tomsk, Russia, Hong Kong Jazz Festival, Joy of Jazz Festival, Johannesburg; Sunset-
Sunside, Paris; Porgy & Bess, Vienna, The Music Village, Brussels; Snug Harbor, New Orleans, BFlat, Berlin, among many more.
Tango Jazz Quartet proposed a fusion of how much both songs had in common and adding something distinctive of the jazz that the tango lacked: Improvisation.
This musical concept has a great reception of the very different publics around the world. “It is the first time that I
hear a fusion of Jazz and Tango that works and makes sense”, said about Tango Jazz Quartet the world‐renowned French accordionist Richard Galliano.
