Buenos Aires Blues

Blue does not refer to my mood.  It is the soulful sound of an Uruguayan drummer, two Argentinians on acoustic base and electric guitar, and an Italian (Paolo Russo) playing the BANDEON.  These musicians, first met on the day of the performance, under the auspices of the Buenos-Aires Jazz Festival.  In an intimate brick-lined bar, they created what I would describe as Tango Blues.

The audience loved them, and so did I.  I felt really lucky for several reasons.
1.  The combination of Cool Jazz and the emotional voice of the bandeon, was great.
2.  The music was a perfect fit for our first concert in Argentina.
3.  The tasty Chardonnay was only 10 bucks per bottle (and that was the more expensive choice).
4.  The venue was less than one block away from our apartment.
