O’s Notes: Te Extraño Buenos Aires is a rich sample of original tangos all composed by pianist Roger Davidson. This is Roger’s 4th album of tango music but on this one he enlists three Argentinian pianists to play. José Luis “Pepe” Motta, Andres Linetzky and Abel Rogantini each contribute five arrangements (and play piano) on the CD. The piano is prevalent but surrounded by the requisite instruments for tango: Ramiro Gallo (violin), Nicolás Enrich (bandoneon) and producer Pablo Aalan (b). The results are fantastic! The American composer plus the master bassist/producer plus Argentine tango professionals equals another winning effort from Davidson/Aslon.
