Dino Saluzzi: El Viejo Caminante

Description

Two guitars gently envelop the uniquely evocative bandoneon of Dino Saluzzi on El Viejo Caminante, (eThe Old Wandereri). Here, the Argentinean father and son team of Dino and JosE MarIa Saluzzi are joined by Norwayis Jacob Young, in an album of musical depth and great charm. iIt fills me with joyi, says Dino Saluzzi, delighting in this recordingis sonic blend, with JosE on classical guitar and Jacob on Telecaster and acoustic steel-string guitar. iJacob and JosE are very good together. They have different sounds, different visions, but when it comes to the artistic output there is something beautiful happening.i The elder Saluzzi, who turned 90 in May, has lost none of his youthful enthusiasm for artistic collaboration, or for venturing beyond stylistic borders: iI always strive to make contact with new ideas outside my normal element,i he says, still seeking out contexts that offer, as he puts it, ipotential for both musical and human growth.i The programme includes originals, new and old, by all three musicians, a song by Karin Krog as well as a couple of standards n Dino sees the album as a collection of music from different times and places that touches upon tango, Argentinean folk music and jazz and makes of these allusions something fresh.
