MINGO T GERMAN&LECHNER TangoJazz UNION Live in Zaragoza , Spain.

During the july 2013 ”Summer Nights Concert Series” season organized by CCM Joaquin Roncal in Zaragoza,
Mingo developed the idea of a mutual collaboration named as the ”Tangojazz Union” with the recognized spanish
based argentinian master tangojazz pianist-composer Federico Lechner.
The basic idea was a micro-tour exploring and introduce original compositions , themes from the popular native
argentinian ”cancionero” (songbook) and some afro-northamerican melodies with unique special arrangements and
rhythm feels from the ”rioplatensis” buenos aires sound.
Lechner has worked with some of the top artists all over the world in flamenco,latinjazz or tango like acclaimed Enrique Morente,Ruibal,Antonio Serrano,Erwin Schrott’s Rojotango,Miguel Rios,etc.
Mingo T German has collaborated all over the world with masters artists/projects like Saluzzi,Stefan Grossman,Walter Rios,
Buena Vista Social,John Stein,John Lockwood,Pablo Aslan,Julia Malisching,etc.
That night,together with aragonian bass master Javi Callen they make enjoyed an enthusiastic full of audience concert hall and these is a piece of that live session feelin’.
