{"product_id":"mambo-tango","title":"Mambo Tango","description":"Personnel: Carlos Franzetti (piano).\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Klavierhauss, New York, NY (01\/14\/2009).\u003cbr\u003eAlthough Argentinean-born jazz pianist Carlos Franzetti is well versed in both South American and Cuban styles, don't think of MAMBO TANGO as strictly a Latin recording. Sticking exclusively to solo piano for this session, his take on \"Have You Met Miss Jones\" could easily be mistaken for one of the neo-bop players who emerged during the 1980s and 1990s, with inventive improvisations against a walking irregular bass ine. It is surprising that relatively few pianists have recorded Gary McFarland's moving \"Gary's Waltz,\" a favorite of the late Bill Evans, who played and recorded it numerous times. But Franzetti's approach is less dramatic and alters the melody in a subtle, infectious way that is far removed from Evans' interpretation. He also tackles Evans' popular \"Waltz for Debbie,\" shading it with an Erroll Garner-like bouncing rhythm for a time against his dazzling improvising in the upper keyboard. Franzetti's originals are equally of interest. His delightful \"Mambo Tango\" combines the two styles in a masterful performance, while \"Milonga del Adios\" is a bittersweet Latin ballad that deserves to have lyrics. To wrap this top-notch CD, Carlos Franzetti offers a tantalizing, deliberate setting of Duke Ellington's \"I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good).\"","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46273614872863,"sku":"016728123020","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/8b6a008bcf07e4a9f1d1993986a86712.jpg?v=1777893746","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/mambo-tango","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
