Album lore

Tango Para Charlie, released in early 2001 on Enja Horst Weber, gathers the Argentine guitarist Quique Sinesi and alto saxophonist Charlie Mariano in a session steeped in South American and jazz idioms. The record’s dozen pieces draw from folklore argentino, tango, and candombe, interwoven with elements of Brazilian jazz and bebop. Mariano’s alto saxophone tones, shaped by his cool jazz and jazz fusion background, converse fluidly with Sinesi’s intricate guitar work, yielding a reflective yet rhythmically grounded atmosphere.The track “Alta Paz” exemplifies the album’s approach: a balance between jazz ballad lyricism and the earthy pulse of Argentine rhythms. Recorded under Enja, known for cataloguing diverse jazz expressions, Tango Para Charlie occupies a modest yet distinct place in the early 2000s jazz lineage. Though it remains a quiet artifact with limited circulation—just over 180 scrobbles on Last.fm—it offers a nuanced signal for listeners attuned to the intersections of South American roots and jazz improvisation.
