Pablo Ziegler Trio:
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Grammy 2018 and Latin GRAMMY 2005 winning pianist Pablo Ziegler artfully blends classic tango rhythms with jazz improvisations, adding a new voice to the tango lexicon. Howard Reich of The Chicago Times writes, “There’s no question that Ziegler takes the tango to levels of sophistication and refinement probably undreamed of by Piazzolla”, and Eric Salzman of Stereo Review, writing of Ziegler’s CD, Tango Romance, affirms that the CD “solidifies his [Ziegler’s] claim to be the outstanding representative of the nuevo tango in his generation.” In addition to this critical acclaim, Ziegler’s 2005 release Bajo Cero won the 2005 Latin Grammy Award for Best Tango album of the year and in 2008, his album Buenos Aires Report made the final list of nominees for the same honor.
In 1978, Mr. Ziegler was invited to join Astor Piazzolla’s New Tango Quintet, and for the next 12 years, he performed with this group throughout Europe, Japan and North America, at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Nice Jazz Festival, Sapporo Jazz Festival, Central Park Summer Stage, and the Istanbul Festival, among many others.
Pablo Ziegler formed his own Quartet for New Tango in 1990 and has been touring extensively throughout the world with his trio, quartet and quintet. Performances in recent seasons have included Carnegie Hall (as part of the JVC Jazz Festival with guest artists Paquito D’Rivera,Joe Lovano and Gary Burton), the Savannah Music Festival, Blue Note, UCLA, the University of Texas - Austin, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in Maryland, the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, the Ravinia Festival, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas with pianist Christopher O’Riley in the duo Los Tangueros, the New World Symphony in Miami, New York’s Knitting Factory with pianist Emanuel Ax, the Cape May Music Festival in New Jersey, and the San Francisco Jazz Festival among many others.
His trio continues to tour extensively throughout the US and abroad including recent performances at the Lied Center in Nebraska, Arts! San Antonio, the Belleayre Music Festival in upstate New York. Pablo Ziegler and Paquito D’Rivera celebrated The Music of Astor Piazzolla at Jazz at Lincoln Center Music of the Masters series. In 2018 he will perform various festivals in the USA, Asia and Europe and will perform at the BBC Proms on September 4 at the Royal Albert Hall.
