For something a little different, I'd recommend "Ventarrón", with Retamoza picking up his baritone sax and dueling Aslan's bass. Unusual, but it works really well and was probably my second favorite on the album. Another example of a tune with a more conventional lead instrument is "Bahia Blanca", with strong work by Bergalli on the trumpet. (Although not to the heights mentioned on the album notes, which refer to him "channeling Miles Davis".)

The album notes, mostly written by Aslan, spend quite a bit of time establishing the pedigree of every song, as to its place in the tango repertoire. That's fine but probably of more interest to someone like Robert Duvall, who famously has devoted himself to the art of the tango. I suspect that the average listener is more interested in how the music sounds, and whether the fusion of tango and jazz works. I believe it does and can recommend the album for its overall musicality, even if my personal taste runs to a little less bass lead.
