The NUEVO TANGO ENSAMBLE was founded in 1999 by Pasquale Stafano and Gianni Iorio in order to celebrate Astor Piazzolla..s music, but also to rearrange it. The Trio approximates Piazzolla’s compositions with deep admiration with the aim to interpret the complex musical expressions and the characteristical sounds from Buenos Aires. This convergence became quickly a deep passion of Nuevo Tango Ensamble, supported by the enthusiastic feedback by the audience.
For 4 years now the Trio tours with the Tango-Jazz project „A night for Astor“ through Europe to present Piazzolla’s compositions as a mixture of Tango and Jazz to the listeners. With this project „A night for Astor“ the Nuevo Tango Ensamble established itself over the years at theaters, but also at Jazz Clubs and at festivals. They just did a festival tour through the Arab Emirates in summer 2008.
The trio already worked with international well-known musicians as argentinian saxophone player Javier Girotto, italian clarinet player Gabriele Mirabassi and argentinian bandoneon player Gustavo Toker.
In 2002 was released the first CD "Astor's Mood” by the classical label Realsound.
In July 2005 was released the second album: "A night in Vienna for Astor Piazzolla". It’s a live CD recorded in Porgy & Bess jazz club in Vienna. The album was produced by Italian jazz label Philology Jazz Records. The Cd had a lot of reviews by the most important music magazines all over the world.
In 2008 is released by label Jazzhaus Records the new album "Tango Mediterraneo". For new CD they worked with Gabriele Mirabassi who has an excellent reputation as clarinettist by now. The album will include primary self-made compositions of Pasquale Stafano and Gianni Iorio besides two Astor Piazolla interpretations. “Tango Mediterraneo“ is released on the Freiburg in September 2008.
A NIGHT IN VIENNA FOR ASTOR PIAZZOLLA - 2005
"…and I'm happy to say that these guys are talented enough to surprise me and please me....
I imagine, should be very difficult to apprehend for someone who was not born and raised in Buenos Aires or Montevideo.
That's why this group amazes me. They got it so well that they sound like some of the best rioplatenses naturals. Congratulations!
Oscar López Ruiz - Piazzolla's guitarist
“[…] adding some great jazz improvisations in the middle. It is both remarkable and highly satisfying to see the group seamlessly transistion from a tango to a jazz mood, and back. In a scene where Piazzolla interpretations abound, most of which without very satisfactory results, what the Nuevo Tango Ensamble has accomplished is of great merit. To make Piazzolla sound new and interesting, understanding and respecting his music, while at the same time adding their own original ideas and interpretation. This is a rare feat deserving of our utmost respect, as well as our hope that the Nuevo Tango Ensamble continues to explore its musical vision in light of Piazzolla's legacy. Excellent work!” – Cesar Luongo (USA)
“[…] I look forward to hearing Pasquale Stafano, Gianni Iorio, and Alessandro Terlizzi in person, as their Piazzolla presentation is so dynamic and magical.[…] Here is no doubt that Nuevo Tango Ensamble has a successful future ahead of them with future interpretations and, hopefully, original compositions, as well.” Roberta E. Zlokower (USA)
“[…]Nuevo Tango Ensamble giving the work of Piazzolla a sublimely eloquent and distinct voice, and fulfilling the great master’s wish to keep his music vibrant, alive, and evolving.” Cindy McLeod (CANADA)
“ […] Iorio, Stafano y Terlizzi interpretan y tocan en serio. Y no bien, sino muy bien, con excelencia musical. Esto último no se puede decir de muchos intérpretes que en la Argentina y en Europa se acercan a Piazzolla por curiosidad o simple oportunismo.” Natalio Gorin (ARGENTINA)
“[...]To, ze Wloch wie o muzyce Piazzolli wszystko, slychac bylo w kazdej frazie. Nie gorzej wypadl wirtuoz fortepianu - jak sie okazalo - Pasquale Stafano. Solidny w tangach, ale i wyluzowany w improwizacjach podszytych jazzem, pokazal, ze mozna pogodzic nuevo tango ze swingowaniem. Gdy gral wstep do "Adios Nonino", udowodnil, ze ròwnie bliski jest mu Piazzolla jak Thelonious Monk i Chick Corea. Dopelniajacy trio kontrabasista skupial sie bardziej na budowaniu solidnego fundamentu niz technicznych popisach. Ot, mistrz drugiego planu. Piotr Iwiki (POLAND)
“[...]La qualité de l’enregistrement en concert au Porgy & Bess Jazz Club en février 2005 est à souligner et nous donnerait envie de les inviter. Citons donc ceux par qui l’émotion et le swing arrivent : Gianni Iori, au bandonéon, Pasquale Stafano, piano, et Alessandro Terlizzi à la contrebasse. Grâce à leur exploration intelligente et profonde de Piazzolla, on peut dire, et cela est rare, que la lumière du maître brille en eux. Solange Bazely (FRANCE)TANGO MEDITERRANEO - 2008
"This CD is one of the most gorgeous collections of recorded and live music I have ever heard. The tango genre is challenging to replicate, and only true professionals, well versed in this genre, should attempt such compositions. Pasquale Stafano and Gianni Lorio have composed seven new works, all on this album, adding two works by the great tango genius, Astor Piazzolla. This collection of music is not just for occasional listening, even twice or three times. This collection of music is for repeated listening, as it grabs the imagination and transports the listener to Buenos Aires tango halls. In fact, this music is clearly danceable by tango aficionados. Stafano and Lorio perform generous, gripping solos, respectively on piano and bandoneón or accordion. It was impossible to choose four notable tracks, as each and every track was diverse and mesmerizing. In most cases, when reviewing a CD, I turn the volume down. In this case, I turned the volume up. [...]" Roberta E. Zlokower (USA)
"[...]L'agape che tiene il trio coinvolge anche Gabriele Mirabassi che, in cinque intense pagine, cesella ogni singola nota con avvincente eloquio; ne Il Sole di Puglia diventa sibilante contrapponendosi efficacemente al tocco ellingtoniano di Pasquale Stafano, forbito pianista le cui incursioni improvvisate sono sempre opportunamente calibrate, mai invasive. Gianni Iorio con possente empatia sviluppa una combustione che dà alla musica deciso colore (Terre Lontane). Le pause, i silenzi, le diverse soluzioni metriche, le particolari unità prosodiche, caratterizzano tutto il lavoro; il risultato è di una forza espressiva stordente, priva di lacerazioni ciò grazie anche al contrabbasso ricercato ed elegante di Alessandro Terlizzi, ottimo collante ritmico[...]" Alceste Ayroldi (Jazzitalia)
"[…] Koko äänitteen musiikki on hyvinkin vetävää. Aikanaan tuli rahan takia pakkopullana soitettua "tango viejoa", johon verrattuna nuevossa on se ero, ettei sitä ainakaan amatööri pysty tanssimaan. Kyllä hotelliravintola Männyn hienostuneet asiakkaat olisivat venäyttäneet niveliä yrittäessään[...]" Ollie - Jazzritmit Finland
"[…]le 3ème thème plus jazz avec un beau moment piano/basse, le 4ème morceau est construit sous forme de fugue piazzollienne puis plus calme avec des syncopes bien tango. On sent comme incontournable l’influence de Piazzolla. Des citations, des bouts de tango, la forme... Tout respire Piazzolla[…]" Solange Bazely - Toutango France
[...]La novità è anche uno dei tratti caratteristici del CD, perché il clima tanguero è tangibilmente risituato in un'atmosfera nostrana, fatta di melodie non meno struggenti di quelle argentine, e tuttavia diversa, forse più aperta, meno drammatica e malinconica, nella quale le frasi narrative si alternano ai ritmi del tango con un fascino e una dolcezza di particolare originalità. Ne sono esempio "Il canto del mare" - che conserva numerosi stilemi classici del tango argentino, ma ne distende il respiro narrativo - e "Terre lontane" - ancor più melodica, ma caratterizzata ancora dall'incedere tipico del tango. [...] Un bel gruppo che merita complimenti, così come meriterebbe ascoltarlo dal vivo, magari - visto che si tratta di un gruppo nostrano - senza dover necessariamente andare fino al Porgy & Bess di Vienna...Neri Pollastri - ALL ABOUT JAZZ - Italy
