Impresionismo Porteño

Tango from the sax

Violentango

With nine album releases as a leader, saxophonist and composer Jorge Retamoza and his group explore innovative forms of tango in the 21st century, with pieces that combine strictly written music with improvisation, with the sounds of a tango interpellated by chamber music and the gestures of jazz.

In the academic field, he premiered his works Concerto for Tenor Saxophone, Bandoneon and Orchestra, Tres Escenas Porteñas, for two Bass Clarinets and Symphonic Band, En Blanco y Negro Buenos Aires for Bandoneon and six Percussionists, Concertango for Baritone Saxophone and Orchestra, 2016 – Award National Endowment for the Arts of Argentina. He is the first Argentine saxophonist to record Piazzolla's Seis Estudios Tanguísticos in its entirety, and this is also the world's first recording of the work in a version for solo saxophone and string orchestra. The recording was made in Germany in co-production with the prestigious SR (Saarbrucken Public Radio and TV) from that country.
