Erik van Goch -> Astor Piazzolla: Zero hour (May 4 2014 16:54:09)

A couple of years before he died (after a lifetime of performing and making records) Astor Piazzolla recorded his finest record ever: Zero Hour. During one of the life performances (the most beautiful concerts i ever attended) i actually suffered an emotional shock and as a result could not breath for minutes (still a nice death, an overdose of beauty). Both the record and the matching life performances have become my personal reference point for this universe and there is not a single record i played and enjoyed more then Zero hour.

I'm not sure how often the complete record is available on youtube and graph the opportunity to share it with the foro now it is. Piazzolla died 2 days after Camaron, making me loose 2 of the most inspiring musicians known to me (aside from Paco de Lucia). Most fortunately shortly afterwards i discovered the incredible stage magic of Janis Ian solo.

Zero Hour is fantastic...I own the CD and love the crazy reviews inside:

"Strip to your underwear if you're not in black tie. Get obscene if you want, but never casual. You feel an urge? Touch its pain, wrap yourself around it. Don't put on airs. What you seem must be what you are, and what you are is a mess, honey, but that's okay, as long as you wear it inside..."

And it goes on and on, getting even crazier, ending with: "Listen up. And suffer, motherfuc#$!, this is the tango." What are they smoking in Buenos Aires?

Piazzolla was one of Al Di Meola's favorite composers; they became friends before Piazolla died. Di Meola brilliantly recorded a lot of his music.

Carmen de la Jara also made a disco de homenaje, though I don´t suppose it would be at this level.

His live record with Milva is another one of my personal favorites. You can find all 10 tracks on this posters youtube channel.

Suddenly realize the intro of one of these songs almost feels like a silencio :-)
