PABLO ZIEGLER

COMPOSITION - PIANO - ARRANGEMENTS

There's no question that Ziegler takes the tango to levels of sophistication and refinement probably undreamed of by Piazzolla

- Chicago Tribune

His group maintains the essence of the new tango which translates structural experiments into mood swings: astringent to sultry, gruff to tender, agitated to buoyant

- The New York Times

Far beyond the confines of Tango, or Latin Jazz, or Bossa Nova, or world music, or classical…. [Ziegler] brought something from each to a stew that somehow simultaneously edified and electrified

- U-T San Diego

Ziegler proved that this Argentinian music could rub shoulder with Schubert and Brahms and hold its head high

- San Diego Story

He is cool, understated and makes
everything look easy and natural...
Just as a really suave tango dancer
seems not to move with feet but on wheels, Ziegler skates the keyboard

- Chicago Tribune

It is called Nuevo Tango for its blending of jazz and the more traditional tango. But in the hands of Pablo Ziegler, it is, above all labels, transcendent music

- Montecristo Magazine

Ziegler... plays straight from the beating, bleeding heart of nuevo tango, with its Argentinian mix of swagger and sweetness

the torch was passed to
his longtime pianist who's been carrying it proudly ever since."
