I am immensely grateful to Piers Playfair, impresario extraordinaire, for backing this project, Ryan Streber and the staff at Oktaven Audio (especially Jessica Slavin) where the recordings took place, Bonnie Barrett at Yamaha for getting us a terrific instrument and hosting the Monday release event, piano tech Shane Hoshino, Roz Chast for the terrific cover art, Christina Jensen and Kira Grunenberg for going above and beyond in getting the word out about the release, Miranda for mentioning my label to Ethan – and especially to Ethan, a whirlwind of imaginative creativity and improvisatory delight, with whom it is a joy and an honor to work! -
Latin Grammy Nomination for desde Estudios a Tangos
Urlicht AudioVisual is pleased to announce that desde Estudios a Tangos, featuring violinist Elmira Darvarova and legendary tango pianist and arranger Octavio Brunetti, has been nominated for a Latin Grammy®!
The CD was released in September of last year, just days after Octavio’s unexpected death following a brief illness. We are humbled that this disc commemorates a greatly missed champion of tango music at the peak of his abilities in a partnership with one of his very favorite musical collaborators.
