Mi Amigo Tarzán 09:09 INFO Fans of Coltrane will certainly dig this historical 1970s spiritual jazz album from Argentina which left an everlasting imprint in the local jazz scene. From the eerie "Blues para un cosmonauta" žwhich could easily fit in the Twin Peaks soundtrackž, to the majestic "Líneas Torcidas" or the mid-tempo groove of "Mi amigo Tarzán", new landscapes in jazz are explored without hiding, at moments, the musicians' bebop pedigree. Venturing into uncharted dimensions, the album breaks with traditionalism and combines jazz and new electronic instruments into a contemporary concept that is both cosmic and sensual, a sound where timbre and space play a crucial role. Here, no track sounds like the other. The charismatic, multifaceted saxophone player Horacio "Chivo" Borraro is joined here most notably by Fernando Gelbard žwho pioneered electronic keyboards and analog synths in Argentina, playing here Fender Rhodes and Minimoogž and Brazilian musician Stenio Mendes žwho plays the 12-string craviola and contributes two tracks. Jorge González on bass and Néstor Astarita on drums žboth part of Gato Barbieri's rhythm section in the early 60sž and Chino Rossi žresponsible for much of the unusual percussion and special effects that give the album its unprejudiced auraž complete the line-up of Blues para un Cosmonauta.
